Human beings are social animals. Like our closest relative the chimpanzee, we tend to live together in groups, and we have ways of behaving that have evolved over time. This tendency towards community life was hypothesised by Darwin in the nineteenth century:

In an oft-cited statement, which might be apocryphal, the British historian Arnold Toynbee said, “The coming of Buddhism to the West may well prove to be the most important event of the twentieth century.” Given the monumental social, political, and scientific changes of the last century, that claim seems pretty unlikely. But Toynbee may have noticed something the rest of us need to see: that the interaction between Buddhism and the West is crucial today, because each emphasizes something the other is missing.
