Last quotes from this book:
>From the same book, the author explains why there is so much interest in Buddhism in the West, and address the issue of culture... "... This is because Buddhsim is not culture-bound. It moves very easily from one culture to another because the emphasis in Buddhism is on internal practice. Its emphasis is on the way you develop your mind rather than the way you dress, the kind of food you take, the way you wear your hair and so forth. "The second point that I would like to make regards the pragmatism or the practicality of Buddhism. Instead of taking an interest in metaphysics (oops) and academic theories, the Buddha deals with problems per se and approaches them in a concrete way... "The third point that I would like to refer to is the Buddha's teaching on the importance of verification through experience..." (Peter D.
