		Already today one should start creating the "New Society," as the existing conditions are seen as detrimental to mental and spiritual growth.(36) In this sense the cooperatives act as bridges between the spiritual world of the FWBO and the profane environment.
		This Buddhist society does not aim only to be a pattern and example of the ideal New Society, but also intends to criticize the existing structures and values of society by way of its attractiveness.
		It is pragmatic and instrumental as Buddhist doctrine understands itself as a means only for reaching a specific goal.(40) It is compared to a raft which brings the person striving for insight across the stream of suffering.

		Many of these Buddhists feel that scholars who have not made such a commitment--whose only stake in the truth is their paycheck and their academic reputation--have no right to question the commentators' authority.
		Thus, when an expert in a particular branch of Buddhist Studies compares the findings of his/her research with those in another branch, be prepared to put a question mark next to his/her statements about that other branch, for it is entirely possible that they are based on readings that are partial or out-of-date.
