Ethics and Integration in American Buddhism
Charles S. Prebish
Abstract:
This article identifies and explicates several of the most difficult and
problematic issues facing the North American Buddhist movement today. It
considers not only the obvious conflict between Asian-American and Euro-American
Buddhism, but also those concerns that most directly impact on the ethical
dilemmas facing modern American Buddhists. The article considers the tension
that exists in American Buddhism's struggle to find the ideal community
for Buddhist practice in its Western environment, as well as some potentially
creative solutions.
