I highly recommend this series of articles by Stan B. Martin. They are preview chapters of his forthcoming book, Lost In Transmission. In it he maps the Death of Western Buddhism, and in his posts he touches so many aspects that my small cohort and I have been writing about over the last couple of years. Please visit his page, like, subscribe, and read the full series, but also the other articles out of this collection of posts. Stan breaks it down into a 10 part analysis:

Part 1: Lost in Transmission

Part 2: The Crazy Wisdom Dharma Circus

Part 3: Inflated Teachers

Part 4: Feudal Buddhism

Part 5: Buddhist Romanticism

Part 6: Self-Help Buddhism

Part 7: Ornamental Buddhism

Part 8: Techno Buddhism

Part 9: Buddhist Gaslightenment

Part 10: Safe Buddhism (attached here).

I look forward to buying the book and it will be an invaluable guide to forging a much needed new direction for 21st Century Buddhism in America and beyond.
