Neural Nirvana: 'No Mind' or Out on a Limbic?

On 14 September 2003, The Boston Globe featured an article by Jeffrey Paine, entitled ‘The Buddha of Suburbia: The Dalai Lama’s American religion.’ When Hanif Kureishi created the phrase, The Buddha of Suburbia, for his eponymous 1990 novel, he also created a metaphor for the exponential growth of white Western interest in Buddhism in the post-World War Two period, ranging from a profound commitment to its basic tenets to a dilute New Ageist sense of it as a sort of ambient spiritual tranquilizer, exemplified in the proliferation of Buddha figures of all shapes and sizes as garden and lounge room ornaments.
