Buddhism, Political Engagement and Human Rights
Recently, some internationally renowned Buddhist teachers have expressed restrictions or criticisms regarding the notion of human rights.

Rupayana? Buddhism and the metaphysics of matter
There's supposedly a new form of Buddhism around: rupayana. But isn't it the same old colonialist appropriation of dharma in the name of "purifying it" from its embarrassing "primitive people's" beliefs, such as rebirth or magic? Isn't it the the same 2010s "Buddhism without beliefs", or even the same 19th century Buddhism+British Civility diluted and served down at colonies? Shouldn't we focus more on dissipating the reification of substance, or metaphysical notions such as physicalist monism, rather than trying whitewashing the dharma?
