    Buddhism has been packaged just like all religions are.
    That's the new age nonsense-version of buddhism, not the one practiced in the jungles of India by Adbi the Beggar Boy...

    You could look at it as the provision of services.
    The welfare state has supplanted religion in the provision of charitable services and health care.
    Religion, at least in the wealthier societies is pushed to the margin; no longer a crucial pipeline to material health and welfare.
    The new mantra is "self" actualization and fulfillment; the old religions had emphasis in other areas (while not completely excluding this facet)
    The deification of the state may supplant religion as the provider of welfare; the corporation as the channel to material well being; the new religion is "self"actualization.
