This article is a mess of fatal problems. First, there is only one obscure organization (The Center for Pragmatic Buddhism) that claims to teach "Pragmatic Buddhism," and it is not the subject of the article. (There is also one other group (Unfettered Mind) which appears to make very limited use the phrase as a marketing slogan). The article is basically an editorial about what a speculative "Pragmatic Buddhism" encompasses or perhaps could encompass, by the author's standards of what is "pragmatic" and what isn't. It cites a number of scholars and organizations who the author apparently considers kindred spirits, none of whom self-identify as "Pragmatic Buddhists," - in many cases they just characterize Buddhism as pragmatic without even coming close to postulating anything called "Pragmatic Buddhism." The fact that "Pragmatic Buddhism" is a label with very limited currency is consequential, because in the absence of self-identified "Pragmatic Buddhists" the author is compelled to push a POV about which Buddhist groups and teachings are supposedly pragmatic and which, by exclusion, presumably are not. Needless to say, there are no Buddhist groups who consider their approaches to Buddhism "unpragmatic" - the whole exercise of trying to define a "Pragmatic Buddhism" in the absence of any significant movement actually utilizing the term is hopelessly POV.Sylvain1972 (talk) 15:28, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
