America's Fourth Largest Religion
Buddhism.
"People feel that Buddhist figures like the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh of Vietnam are contributing something, not trying to convert people," says Lama Surya Das, a highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition. "They are not building big temples, but offering wisdom and ways of reconciliation and peacemaking, which are so much needed."

No comment, really, I just found that interesting. I have the Dalai Lama's book Ethics for a New Millenium but haven't read it yet. I will soon.
