      in contrast to the above book by @robertwrighter that can be considered as belonging to the "Buddhist modernism" tradition, a new essays-book by @evantthompson on why he is reluctant to be part of the Buddhist modernism movement.

      I’ll just guess that because of Anatta he’s anti adopting any identity including that of Buddhist

          Evan, how long until the book is released? It's been sitting in pre-order status on Amazon since I was able to pre-order but it's been a while! 😬

          Alas, the release date isn't until January 28, 2020. Publishers advertise early but hard-copy production still takes a while, it seems

          Just saying if the reason you’re not a Buddhist is that you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior it’s a weird title

          It's supposed to be reminiscent of Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian (and his reason wasn't that he followed the Buddha :) )

          This is a "phenomenal" book. Dan Lusthaus writes like a charm. In fact, between this and Shankara's critique of Yogachara is "The Truth". The Advaitin's "being-ness" is best elucidated by Profs. Sthaneshwar Timalsena and Chakravaraty Ram Prasad.pic.twitter.com/JKdsOli6tX

          Never bought that aspect, not so much presence either in the sense of infinitesimal time.
