[Buddha-l] The upaya express

[JKirkpatrick]

The monk quoted is right about one thing. Buddhism in Japan is in
crisis -- but these attempts, which have been going on for a few
years now, aren't helping.

What wonders me is, what is happening to the incredible art
objects in those temples that closed? Have they entered the legal
or illegal antique markets by now???
Anybody have some clues? 
One is tempted to envisage the Mappo as a huge, world-wide flea
market where ancient objects from world cultures are up for sale
to the highest bidders, while everybody else is starving or dying
of plagues.
