Second part of a two-part series: The story of my particular school, Soto Zen, in America, but even if you identify with a different type of Buddhism you may find it interesting because so many forms of Buddhism face a similar lack of racial diversity in the west – despite the diversity of our surrounding communities. Even if you're not particularly interested in the development of western Buddhism, this is also the story of facing collective karma, and of a group questioning its collective "self-nature."
