Hi everyone.
I have just picked up a book from L.L entitled Modern Buddhism by Donald Lopez.

While I am not familiar with all of the authors, some names are familiar from other sources
and may be a bit sus?

For example H.P Blavatsky, co founder of Theosophy was soundly criticized by B.W.B.
Other writers with whom I am familiar,, but not in a Buddhist context include Alan Watts, Allen Ginsberg, D.T.Suzuki, Henry Steel Olcott another Theosophist, et al.

All of the articles are very short. Some writers who I had not heard of include....R.H. Blyth, T'ai Hsu,Buddhadasa,Fritjof Capra, Jack Kerouac among others.

While I believe it is possible to learn from "bad stuff" as well as good I imagine the term "Vulgar Marxism" also applies to Buddhism

Any tips? Thanks.
