[Buddha-l] Western Buddhism

[Dan Lusthaus]

One interesting factor that seems to be emerging is that it makes a huge
difference -- in terms of transmittability to children -- if one of the
spouses is a "native" Buddhist, i.e., someone born Buddhist into a "Buddhist
lifestyle." Obviously such a parent would have their own childhood
experiences to draw on, to remember, to reenact.

Any success stories with non-"native" Buddhist parents? Or is this a missing
ingredient for Western (aka American) Buddhists?
