      If you look at the history of Buddhism, then what we reformers are doing is absolutely traditional. It's not "post" anything, it's oldskool.

      Isn't it both? Perhaps post-traditional is simply an ideological stance to distinguish need to be obedient to traditions' rules?

      Maybe. But to me that ideology looks like an off-shoot of neoliberalism.

      Why? What's neo-liberalism got to do with it? That's a real question BTW.

      OK. It's a stretch. But at the least you are suggesting libertarianism, suggesting rules don't apply.

      But you're also saying that you are free to appropriate the practices of Buddhism (which is cultural imperialism).

      That said, I think we're all free to appropriate, which is one of the real benefits of a globalised world. It goes both ways though.

      Oh dear. This is definitely neoliberal ideology. It never goes both ways, because of inequalities and asymmetries.

      Worth bearing in mind that most/all Asian Buddhist modernisms have enthusiastically, evangelically exported themselves to the West.

      By the definitions in play, Buddhism has always been modernist, and was always exporting itself in all directions. Including back to India!

          Given that Buddhism has been evangelical from the beginning, questions of cultural appropriation are complex at best.
