What are the current issues Buddhism is facing today?

Answer 1

The conflict between the beginning understanding of a truer and more accurate way of seeing the world, and the ingrained delusion that there is a separate, unchanging continuous self that knows what's going on and just what to do about it.

And then there's the conflict between the amount of time we ought to spend getting our minds clear, and the amount of time we want to spend just being lost in modern life.

Seen another way, there's the classic conflict between the easy and quick (uh-huh sure *grins*) path to enlightenment when one disengages from the world and just works on oneself, and the harder path of staying engaged with the world, society, family and all the extra work that entails.

Answer 2

The challenges that Buddhists must overcome are:

• Lust: The sense of neediness outside of biological need. The antidote for lust is restraint.
• Aversion: The sense of anger and negativity. The mind looking for a fight.
• Sloth and Torpor: A mind state of low energy, looking to fall asleep.
• Restlessness: Fidgety and jumpy in mind and body. A high-energy mind looking for sources of worry.
• Doubt: Self-generated demoralizing thoughts sabotaging faith and trust

Answer 3

I don't know, you might wanna ask someone with more intelligence on the issue.

Answer 4

Having desires, being angry--and all the usual human challenges..

Answer 5

For starters, the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan Buddhist leader, has been exiled from his own country. Tibet also cannot gain complete political freedom from China.
