[Buddha-l] Western Buddhism

[Dan Lusthaus]

I pass on a link to an interesting piece on Western Buddhism from the Wall
Street Journal, of all places. Lots to think about, lots to disagree about,
but definitely relevant to recurrent discussions on this list.

One question might be -- what percentage of the subscribers to this list are
under 50?

Another question: How many who identify themselves, in whole or in part, as
Buddhists, have raised their children "Buddhist," and of those children, how
many are enthusiastic practitioners of Buddhism today?
