One of my original reasons for starting this thread was to point out 
that those who "think with" this term "protestant buddhism" - should 
"think about" it a little more carefully. There has been lots of tisk 
tisking on this list about some things going on in Sri Lanka. Once again 
I will point out that Sri Lankan Buddhism is the best example we have of 
something that can be reasonably called "protestant buddhism".
