What is called "modernization" today is the emergence of a new self-corrective style of life already embodied in a developmentally oriented global community whose members are found in all major nations, social classes, racial，ethnic and religious groups. contiguity in time and space，bonds of blood，common tradition，controlling ideology are giving way to a self-corrective community in which buddhism has already shown itself，especially in southeast asia, to be a creative，congenial contributing force.
