Take-home line (of many):
I would simply point out that Zizek doesn't seem to have conducted any studies, or even referred to any studies, showing that Western Buddhists are any less socially or politically engaged than anyone else. If anything, I'm pretty sure that research would show, and has shown, that that isn't the case.
I was hoping someone would add some empirical spice to the proceedings. Cheers Adrian. More soon.
Adrian is one of those people it's a treat to think with.
