Suze Orman is listed here as an American Buddhist. Can anyone cite a source for her being Buddhist? If so, the citation should be a part of the biography on her Wikipedia page. --Enkido 22:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gene Vincent was definitely an American but I have read nothing about him being a Buddhist. His lifestyle was definitely not one of a Buddhist. He may have talked about Buddhism or had an interest in Buddhism but that wouldn't make him a Buddhist any more than my talking about and having an interest in Islam makes me a Muslima. Anyone have any sources saying that he was actually a Buddhist? --Jaguara the big fat Gene Vincent fan 03:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leonard Cohen is a Buddhist and should be on this page.[edit]

  His wikipedia biography says that he was ordained as a buddist monk.

Leonard Cohen is Canadian, which would explain why he is not here. --Vince (talk) 16:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
