We are committed to endeavoring to also reach the traditional European and African American populations who have frequently been beyond the reach of the Asian Buddhist traditions because of language and cultural barriers.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_text_color=”#5d5d5d” text_font_size=”15px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”1px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We are convinced that Buddhism has an egalitarian, practical, scientifically defensible appeal that will touch the hearts and minds of Americans of all traditions if we can address them in English and in ways that are significant and meaningful to them. The principles of loving kindness, peace making, are well know to most Americans but we need to find better ways to inform them of the Buddha’s teachings themselves in language and with applications culturally and linguistically compatible with their existing cultural ideals and practices.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″
