The Dharma has come West |
 | | Buddhism's dramatic growth in Western countries, observable for about the past three decades, has been accompanied by an increased number of Buddhist books and scholarly studies. |
| | A synoptic survey of Buddhism's historical and contemporary developments in Europe is provided in my article "Creating a European Path to Nirvana." The stock-taking draws together regional sources and studies, on which basis both a sketch with regard to respective countries in Europe and general features of developments are outlined. |
| | Likewise, Buddhism may be understood and practiced from a rational, sociopolitically engaged or feminist point of view, to name but a few emphases set up by its followers. |
