Description:Gyomay Kubose always felt that Buddhism in America would become uniquely American Buddhism, because Buddhism is a way of life that teaches the individual to find and develop the true self and to make life more creative and meaningful. When we study Buddhism in China and Japan, we see that it became uniquely Chinese and Japanese after it was adopted. The teachings, as they influenced individuals, created a unique culture in each case.Therefore, Buddhism in America will become a unique American Buddhism. Keeping this in mind, some time ago Gyomay Kubose formulated a kind of direction for Buddhism in this country, briefly sketched in this book.In this age of science and in this very pragmatic and utilitarian country, Buddhism must adapt itself if it is to make its great contribution to American culture.This booklet was first presented in the fall of 1965 at the Eastern Young Buddhists League Conference in Chicago.
