Some reservations about the usefulness of this page (and its inclusion on the 'floating Buddhism table') at this point. Basically this is because we don't yet have articles on Buddhist art and music, and the present 'Buddhist cuisine', whilst featuring my very own pretty picture and a great deal of generalities, lacks depth and accuracy. I guess/hope these reservations will dimish as the pages linked to from here are improved... --prat 00:06, 2004 Apr 4 (UTC)

[edit] modern buddhist culture

The actual lack will disappear. Buddhist art can include modern elements (exemple

• buddha, a manga by Ozamu Tezuka

)

The article could try to study cultural influence. ex : Nirvana is a music band, the french Doc Gyneco hip hop composer "i want to reach nirvana",and so on ...

Cultural caracteristics of buddhism. They are not only different schools but different cultural positions of these schools :

• role of the sangha in the community
• cultural aspects of local sangha : traditions, clothes, ...

I was first sceptic about this article. Maybe is it a good idea, a way to propose many articles to the reader.

This article has been wikilinked as the main article of a section of Buddhism article. For this reason, I'm renaming the article. Expect more readers/editors. See ya forks. Vapour
