"non-sectarian" is ommitted from "an attempt at creating a new style of non-sectarian Buddhist practice".
I think this statement is popular in FWBO. They claim that their movement is "non-sectarian", which is funny given that they are a sect. It was also used to accuse traditional buddhist school of sectarianism. Funny thing is that FWBO is accused of this tendency as well.
I think non-sectarian movement should be attributed to organisation such as the World Fellowship of Buddhism, which is not a school or doctrine of buddhism.
- Added "non-demoninational" to its more proper place, in the paragraph talking about sects. Ashibaka tock 21:18, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Western Buddhism
It is confusing title. It could refere to denomination unique to the west as well as buddhism in the west. I will rename the article as "Buddhism in the West". "Western Buddhism" can be dealt in a separate section. Vapour
[edit] cleanup tag
It looks like someone was in the middle of rewriting the "Buddhism and Western Culture" and "Inflow of Buddhism" sections and walked away in the middle of it. The first paragraph of the Inflow section is a mess, and looks like it should be part of the previous section. Paxsimius 19:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
