well done...at last i saw a good Korean . I give me the impression that Buddhism in Korea is so impressive and deep-rooted. The mad, extremist ,loud,evangelistic,annoying and deculturalised Christian Koreans contrast so deeply the serenity of Korean Buddhism.

i am korean and proud to be a buddhist! seriously every koeran i meet in north america seem christian these days. i want tomeet more korean buddhists.

as a buddhist, i'm glad christianity gained a foothold in korea. it would have been nearly impossible to reform traditional korea into a more equal society without the mass fanaticism of evangelists. truth needs no adherents, but to effect the salvation of all beings requires skillful means. in that sense, i see korean christianity as an emanation of the sages. korean buddhism may be small, but notice that it's more vibrant than japanese buddhism, which is omnipresent, yet necrotic.

@nusld Yes, I personally think that beauty of Buddhism lies in their modesty. Mostly, people of other religions like the Christians you mentioned always try to spread their religion in a very "loud' way. They force their religion onto others. Buddhists think like: 'Let them come if they want to. They don't have to.'

Any Buddhism revival in Korea now? Korean Buddhists do not do anything to promote Buddhism in this country?

If want to save Buddhism, Buddhists have to changed and could not follow the ancient or conventional way of promoting religion and culture anymore.

Buddhists should adopt the method of "Buddhism evangelism".

In Sri Lanka and Taiwan Buddhists, they have done this very successful.
