[Buddha-l] How to help the Dharma grow in the USA

local vipassana group. They don't do any chanting or prostrations or burn 
any
incense or put out any flowers. They just sit and meditate. Compared to 
them, a Quaker meeting is like a day at Disneyland.

Not at all. As I mentioned, most Zen groups have quite a bit of percussion.
Some even have repercussions.

Ha ha. You're being hilarious today, when everyone else (on teevee)  is 
still solemnizing the fetishistic funeral of our late former president. At 
least the Egyptians made mummies and gorgeously decorated tombs. It's been 
downhill ever since.
Now for some peace and quiet.
