(I am not saying that all places are like that)As we know the Path is no longer open for those following Mahayana (because it's disciples seek to become Buddhas) or Vajrayana (because it seeks further some short-cuts to Nibbana). Yes, there are many western people keen to follow the Path; but not many (in my belief) come accros Shri Sadhdharma.True, there are many English Dhamma texts; but quite a number of them are a mixture of thing from all these 'yana's... And not everyone can filter out what not relavant to the Path...As we know main external factor one needs for the Path is "saddharma shrawana"; Without that no follower can start along the Path. We have Shri Sadhdharama in Sri Lanka... (yes, it's also being spread across the golbe; but at a rate lower than that of Mahayana, Vajrayana, etc.)That's why we should make sure we make most out of the opportunity we have...Theruwan saranai!</blockquote>
