Buddha in a box: the transmission of Buddhism to the west.

Every year thousands of Buddha rupas are transported from the East to the West in cramped inhumane conditions in the holds of aeroplanes and ships, often with little food or room to move, a few end up in temples, most end up in garden centres or gift shops. It doesn't seem to bother them...The dharma doesn't come boxed.
