I am not an expert on Buddhism, but I grew up in India and noticed similarities with Hinduism in two countries: Bhutan and Thailand. The Buddhist temples were very ornate and seemed to be focused on the devotional aspects. If you apply what Chen is saying to Hinduism, it strikes true to me: meditation and yoga are very recent trends in India, and most people focus on the ritualistic and devotional aspects.
