   Is American Buddhism a new hybrid Buddhism?

   • For this reason, much like McMahan claimed that Buddhist modernism constituted a new hybrid Buddhism, Gleig argues that “American Buddhism is witnessing the emergence of a new period” (6), one that no longer falls under the paradigm of Buddhist modernism. American Dharma consists of eight chapters, plus an introduction and a conclusion.

   What are the main features of Buddhist modernism?

   • The cover encapsulates the main features of Buddhist modernism, with its focus on individual, empirically verifiable meditative experience; its detraditionalized, decontextualized, and psychologized presentation of Buddhism as a cure to Western ills; and its Eurocentric orientation that privileges white, liberal, middle- to upper-class persons.
