It is  wonderful to see so many good discussions on buddha-l. It would be
even  more wonderful to see some of our Asian, European and  antipodean
subscribers joining Wong Weng-Fai, Piya Tan and Erik Hoogcarspel  in
giving this forum more diversity of viewpoints of the same high  quality
as theirs.

Recently I was sent this link about the problems at a wat between the  
cultural needs of ethnic Buddhists and the dhamma needs of US  born Buddhists:  
_http://www.youtube.http://wwwhttp://www.youhttp://wwwh_ 
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPDPxORJboU#GU5U2spHI_4) .  I know of several other wats going through 
the same problem. I know of very few  US Buddhist communities that haven't 
split into a US part and ethnic part. They  are friendly toward each other but 
have little if any interaction.
 
How do you non-US participants see this problem?
