A question I have is more about contemporary life in the east Asian and Pacific Rim countries, and ways Buddhism influences ways of life in tangible evident ways. It's one thing to communicate history or history/religion in isolation, but to really engage my students in a more dynamic way I would like to see direct lines of connection between ideologies and habits of everyday life, including decision making. If anyone has any hard examples, please share.

For example, do any businesses or industries operate with Buddhist ideologies as the backbone for its interactions with clients? There are hospitals, for example, in the US that have strong religious ties. Do the same exist in the East? Schools too for that matter?
