Waiting for American Buddhism | December 10, 2014
Americans tend to be impatient. We think if Buddhism has been here
for a hundred and fifty years, of course it should be totally American.
But that ignores the fact that in Asia it took centuries for Buddhism to
become fully acculturated when it moved to a new cultural region. . . .
It will take time.
