In defining authenticity by privileging certain historical texts and their interpretation by Western scholars such as himself over the words and deeds of contemporary Buddhist leaders such as the Dalai Lama (whom he calls a "spokesperson"), Lopez risks perpetuating the same Colonial logic he so eloquently describes.

24+
> No one among
25+
us can predict, much less legislate, the future of appropriate or meaningful
26+
language—to do so would be to claim individual property rights over
27+
something that is useful and valuable only because it cannot be owned by
28+
individuals. Like the single true text, the single appropriate expression is
29+
only a fiction, a fantasy created by our desire to control the authority of
30+
the sacred word.

> More common among contemporary scholars is the role of the anti-priest: the guardian of "secular authority." I do not refer here to the
37+
common iconoclasm directed at the consecrated work of other scholars,
38+
rather, I refer to the scholar's interest in undermining the authority of the
39+
tradition he or she studies. Seldom is this role part of the scholars public role. The motives remain a mystery to me, but it is clear that it is polite to
40+
pretend that scholarship is perfectly neutral. We would advance considerably if we stopped once and for all the pretense that our
41+
scholarship is never inimical to Buddhist belief and practice.
42+
43+
> On the one hand, the scholar denies his roles
44+
as literary creator and craftsman, on the other hand he or she claims to be
45+
"original." On the one hand, the scholar elevates his role to that of the
46+
primary creator (devaluating the standpoint of the voices he is claiming to
47+
report), on the other, he or she skirts the responsibilities that come with
48+
usurping the primary voice.
49+
50+
> Humanistic scholarship stands in a no-man's land between tradition and
51+
criticism, between community and individual preferences. It cannot seek
52+
and cannot lead to agreement. The greatest mistake we can make is to try
53+
to be the fabled "last man" who has "the last word". Our role vis a vis community is not one of deciding the issues
54+
once and for all but one of keeping more than one voice alive.

> The discourse concerning Buddhist modernism has carried with it a subtle claim that so-called "modern" Buddhists are not really "Buddhists" at all; they are tainted by Western culture, philosophy, and religion, and as such are peripheral to the study of the "authentic Buddhism" that resides in a more "traditional" Asia.

> ... Buddhists of all stripes, are reduced to stereotypes of "traditional" and "modern" that fail to capture the multifaceted nature of their religious traditions, beliefs, and practices [...] condemning those who fail to live up to the standard of a non-Westernized "traditional" Buddhism that [Western scholars themselves] created as a mirror to the modern West.
23+
24+
This article presents a powerful response to Western scholars [like Donald Lopez Jr. who dismiss modern Buddhists](/content/articles/future-of-buddhist-past_lopez-donald-s), explaining how "Buddhist Studies continues at times to employ Orientalizing strategies even as it seeks to distance itself from" claims of Orientalism.
