I had no idea that Buddhism had a range of adoptions until today. While younger, I had a misconception that only Asians practiced Buddhism. It wasn't until I saw the movie based on Tina Turner's life, "What's Love Got to Do With It," that I learned that Tina Turner practiced Buddhism and even later made albums with different chants. Later, as a Lakers fan, I discovered that the famous head coach Phil Jackson was also a practicing Buddhist. I wonder which adoption of Buddhism do they practice. For students, I think it helps to see that people who are not of Asian descent love and practice Buddhism as well.
