It is possible to define "modern Buddhism" before we proceed with commenting on it? What exactly do you have in mind? Do you mean "Protestant Buddhism" that dispenses with devotional practices and rituals, socially engaged Buddhism, mindfulness-only Buddhism, Buddhism as a humanist philosophy/psychology, or is it dharma lite ala Berzin?

Cheers, Thomas
