Angry Asian Buddhist: Who are non-ethnic Asian Westerners?

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2014/03/who-are-non-ethnic-asian-westerners.html

March 21, 2014. Who are non-ethnic Asian Westerners? There are many ways to talk about Asians and non-Asians in Buddhism in the West, but perhaps one of the strangest approaches is by Barbara O’Brien. She has been using a particular terminology for a while, but it didn’t occur to me how strange her wording was until last week when she used the expression, “ non-ethnic Asian westerners. Who are the Asians who aren’t ethnic? Which one am I? If you’re going to write about race, then write about it&#46...

Angry Asian Buddhist: Discover the Emerging Faces of Buddhism (are mostly white)

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2012/08/discover-emerging-faces-of-buddhism-are.html

August 10, 2012. Discover the Emerging Faces of Buddhism (are mostly white). I lost track of time and only just realized that the Buddhist Geeks conference. Is already under way. You can live stream the conference, and if you do, let me know if you find more Asian Buddhists than I did…. As I said last year, a picture is worth a thousand words. For a conference that brandishes the tagline “discover the emerging faces of Buddhism,” I’m a bit amused at how white-centric the line up remains. My personal opin...

Angry Asian Buddhist: Will the real American Buddhists please stand up?

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2011/04/will-real-american-buddhists-please.html

April 7, 2011. Will the real American Buddhists please stand up? One of the frustrations of being an Asian American Buddhist arises when people routinely exclude us from “American Buddhism.” We are American. We are Buddhist. No less, the vast majority of us practice Buddhism differently here than the way it’s practiced in Asia—in ways that are uniquely. On yesterday’s post, which responded to a question by Barbara O’Brien on the number of Asians at the upcoming Buddhist Geeks conference. To follow and id...

Angry Asian Buddhist: The Buddha is the New Face of Customer Service

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2014/10/the-buddha-is-new-face-of-customer.html

October 28, 2014. The Buddha is the New Face of Customer Service. Apparently the Buddha works at a San Francisco customer service start up. At least so it appears when you first see Zendesk. 8217;s brand mascot, The Mentor. Who is elsewhere more affectionately referred to as “Buddhy.” Ugh. ZenDesk employees repeatedly play on Oriental stereotypes and often put The Mentor in situations that many millions of Asian Buddhists would immediately perceive as blatant disrespect.

Angry Asian Buddhist: Rev. Taitetsu Unno (1929–2014)

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2014/12/rev-taitetsu-unno-19292014.html

December 15, 2014. Rev Taitetsu Unno (1929–2014). This weekend I received the sad news of the passing of Rev. Taitetsu Unno. I am at a loss of words to describe the great impact that he has had on me and people around me. There are many wonderful stories I’ve heard of him, but before sharing any of them, I encourage you to read a short biography by his son, Rev. Mark Unno. You can read his full biography here.

Angry Asian Buddhist: Making Our Way Without Asians

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2015/02/making-our-way-without-asians.html

February 9, 2015. Making Our Way Without Asians. There is little new to say that I didn’t already say five years ago. Let me start out, as I normally do, by noting that there are many virtues to the. Discussion, “ Making Our Way: On Women and Buddhism. 8221; and one of the comments came from someone with this very impression. The critique is that we’re not listening to Asian women’s input here; well, then let’s have more of it. What developments towards the equality and dignity of w...I included a list o...

Angry Asian Buddhist: Not Your Normal Buddhist Conference

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2013/08/not-your-normal-buddhist-conference.html

August 16, 2013. Not Your Normal Buddhist Conference. Today begins the Buddhist Geeks Conference. With the fewest ever number of Asian American speakers in its lineup. I have already pointed out that the conference tends to be overwhelmingly white. And that Buddhist Asians don’t appear to play much of a role in what the Geeks deem to be the emerging faces of Buddhism. The speakers’ photo roster naturally tells the story better than I possibly could…. August 16, 2013 at 8:49 AM. August 30, 2013 at 12:57 PM.

Angry Asian Buddhist: Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2014/05/happy-asian-pacific-american-heritage.html

May 18, 2014. Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! If I had more time, I would celebrate Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. By writing a post about every Buddhist Asian American who has a great story to share. I would write about issues that affect the lives of Buddhist Asian Americans. I would essentially do all the things that I try to do every day on this blog. So this year I did something different. I made a collage. In a few hours. Speakers, the editors of Shambhala Sun.
