Chapter one. Part one.
The topic as it stands has several parts to it;
What is modern life? What is Buddhism? And what role has Buddhism to play in modern life?
Modern life in itself is very difficult to define. One might say that modern life is characterized by the fact that the world is getting smaller ; that people are having greater access to each other ; that communication barriers are fast disappearing; that it is possible for one to know what happens everywhere in the world within a short time, and thereby participate in the life of a larger cross-section of the world than one could have ever thought of. That would be one aspect of modern life.
