Why Does the West Reject Buddhism?
Clearly certain aspects of Buddhism has become increasingly popular among some Westerners. However, Buddhism has never taken hold in any Western country and probably never will because it is a religion that provides no answers to the basic questions most Westerners are asking: the origin of the universe, the purpose of life, the final destiny of the world. Christianity strikes a chord in people’s conscience precisely because it provides coherent answers to these fundamental questions from the very first chapter of Genesis, leads us to comfort and safety in Christ, and ends with a logical conclusion in the Book of Final Things called “Revelation”.
