Devotional Practice
In
Asia, laypeople generally relate to Buddhism devotionally. But in
America, when laypeople engage in these traditions they most often want
to relate to them solely as a yogic path, beyond devotion. The problem
is that they have all of the problems that lay Buddhists have always
had. Trying to force yourself into the yogic path while living with all
of the distractions, complications, and follies of the lay life may not
always work so well.
