Page "Henry Steel Olcott" Paragraph 53

Olcott and Anagarika Dharmapala were associates, which reflects both men ’ s awareness of the divide between East and West — as seen in their presentation of Buddhism to the West.

Olcott helped financially support the Buddhist presence at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, 1893.

The inclusion of Buddhists in the Parliament allowed for the expansion of Buddhism within the West in general and in America specifically, leading to other Buddhist Modernist movements.
