- To Evangelical Christians Buddhists are another species of heathens to be converted to god's word.
- To others, Buddhist are thought of as dour, unhappy people who think that life is nothing but suffering and who give themselves to endless chanting, and vegetarian diets

- To the majority whose knowledge of Buddhism is limited to bad movies and sitcoms Buddhists are Chinese, chubby, dressed in orange robes and speaking like fortune cookies.
