  Wow! This is an excellent website.
  
  The "richard gere and keanu reeves on buddhism" is a very interesting video clip and it explained some of the core fundamental important concepts about Buddhism. They say it in a very clear, concise and convincing manner. One lady talk about "Empitness" - excellent. One Western Venerable talk in-brief about "Karma" - great, another talk about the "Mind". All, except Dalia Lama, in this clip are people from the west.
  
  Also Tina Turner and Steven Seagal (if I remembered correctly) are Buddhist.
  
  Great link. Awesome!
  
  Thanks.

  In fact, there are growing and emerging Americans and Europeans who are into the cultivation of Bodhisattva. Just that they are not being label as Buddhist or have not come across the Buddha's way. But that's ok, in Buddhism, it is not about labels but actual practising and cultivation. They are in-fact core Buddhist and good students of the Buddha.
  
  John Robbins (The son of the Baskin Robin Ice Cream Empire) walk away from his family fortune and embark in a lifelong career to save lives. Same as what our Buddha did 2500 years ago. (@ foodrevolution.com) http://www.foodrevolution.org
  
  Sir Paul McCartney (at Vegatarians International Voice for Animals) is heavily active in promoting vegetarian way of lifestyle. And there are many more over at Petatv.com. Very comforting. http://www.viva.org.uk

  I posted this link over at another thread. I now think it is more appropriate to be here. Again done by people from the west. I think they are not Buddhist, but are convinced about Re-incarnation.

  I appreciate this from the website.
  
  When You Attain the One,
  All Things Are Done
  
  Any person who understands the Zero can
  cultivate and realize the fruition.
  
  All dharmas arise from conditions;
  All dharmas cease with conditions.
  Our Buddha, the great Shramana,
  Always speaks in this way.
  
  What us "Shramana"? Anyone?
