First of all, excuse me for phoneposting all this time, I'm still fixing my computer.
Thich Nhat Hanh does not come from a Theravada background (He's a viet zen monk), and I can understand a person from a Mahayana background being socially engaged, its kind of a part of the religion after all--bodhisatva vow and all. A theravada monk being socially engaged is a bit unusual, which is why I suspect Bodhi's biology or upbringing as a Jewish person might have contributed strongly to his inclinations.
>I also fail to see what's Indo-European about the buddhist doctrine itself.
This is a bit of a meme but go ahead and read Evola's Doctrine of Awakening. It's short and fascinating, great book. It's approved by the Pali Text Society if you're worried that Evola might be too biased somewhat.
