What are your thoughts on Buddhism in the West /x/? I've been studying it for a while, but when I've attended temples and spoken to Sangha members, it seems like they are less Buddhist and just more extreme lefties than anything. Their political ideologies are at the forefront of their thinking 24/7, even when you go to more traditional less secularized temples. Many of them are self described Socialists/Marxists and even some go all the way and describe themselves as full blown Communists and are proud of it.

There is also an heir of intense anti-White ideology permeating Buddhism in America lately as well. You'll hear things from Asian practitioners like 'white people can't be REAL Buddhists because they didn't grow up in Buddhist culture' that White, fully ordained monks are not valid and cannot instruct people in Buddhism (obviously the likely non-White person that ordained and gave them the full precepts thought otherwise) and White Buddhists just sit there and take all of this and sit quietly in the back row at temples or even agree with what is being said so people view them as 'comrades', which is just sad. 

Basically spaces of practice for members of the Noble Sangha are turning completely unfriendly towards both White lay followers and Monks as well.

I don't trust any Buddhism in the west except some Tibetan lineages that came over recently. Tantric Buddhism seems to be less succeptible to the weirdness of contemporary leftism, although the reputation of Tibetan schools has been tainted by the NKT stuff.

>true lineage
imagine believing Buddhism is spread by 'lineage'
Tibetan Buddhism is practically the only 'organized' form of real Buddhism on the planet, aside from all individual Buddhists and pratyekabuddhas out there
