Are buddhists necessarily ascetic? I'm not super familiar with buddhism, but I have read stuff written by buddhists and I'm pretty sure I remember one specifically speaking against the idea of asceticism, framing it as something of a needlessly "extreme" approach.
Zizek is right about "western buddhism" (new-age version) and capitalism
