I tried reading this article. But even as someone raised as a (Theravada) Buddhist, I found it confusing. Perhaps because it addresses something(?) that troubles mostly westerners? Even though I no longer subscribe to the rebirth/karmic aspects of the religion, the core of Buddhism is fairly self-evident to me. This article made me question my own understanding, and did so with a handling of the English language that, well, did not exactly help. Perhaps this kind of analysis comes across sounding different to those from a Buddhist background?
