Buddhism and other related concepts like meditation, karma and rebirth have become part of our everyday language. Familiarity, however, does not mean real or accurate understanding. This is an invitation to explore a practice, philosophy and way of looking at reality which has spread over many countries, starting from the Orient and finally reaching and influencing our own Western culture. Perhaps the time is ripe to create a long-haired, jeans-clad, Western style of Buddhism.
