How did Buddhist religious institutions adapt in the West by "Protestantizing" their traditions?
What will be an ideal response?
During World War II, the internment of all Japanese in camps set back the religious life of the Japanese in the United States. After the war, membership in Buddhist temples declined as numerous Japanese Buddhists sought to assimilate by becoming Protestant Christians at a time when Protestantism was influential in America. Many Buddhist religious institutions adapted by "Protestantizing" themselves, adding pews, pulpits, hymnbooks, and organs to their temples. The largest Buddhist group in the States, the Jodo Shinshu sect of Sokka Gakkai, formally changed its name to the Buddhist Churches of America, giving the Christian term church a Buddhist application.
