There are people who are putting a lot of effort into presenting the dharma to Western culture in ways that would actually get it to be taken seriously. Pop gurus, cult leaders, and mush meditation celebrities are really making these people's job harder than it needs to be. 1/3

Replying to @Failed_Buddhist
I have yet to have a serious conversation w/anyone that critiques dharma in an intelligent, informed way, except online in a few cases. Everybody treats it as so ‘precious’, like it’s the f’n Bible.

Unfortunately, using the dharma as religious dogma is a lot easier than taking the precious bits that can be found in it and throwing out the rest. People don't want practical tools and solutions, they want beliefs and ideologies.
