“As it happens, I'm also reading One Dharma by Joseph Goldstein. There's an interesting conversation between the two. Chemi Lhamo draws our attention to cultural appropriation, particularly of Tibetan Buddhism; Goldstein then lays out a whole system for thinking of how the traditions of global Buddhism are emerging in the West to create a new Buddhism. It sparks the question, for me at least, of how we grow and learn from traditions from which we do not emerge (nationally, ethnically, spiritually, etc.). I find the term "cultural misappropriation" because it stakes out some space for appropriate and inappropriate cultural borrowing.
One more thing: I deeply appreciated the discussion of the cultural genocide taking place in Tibet as we speak. I was aware at some level, but this episode filled in many gaps for me.
