I have the same feeling about Sanbo Kyodan and especially about Plum Village. I have lay ordination in both (Jukai in SK).
I reached out to some of the people I know in Diamond Sangha (SK) and it seems like it is dying. They can't attract any youth. They are no longer doing sesshin by the looks of it.
Plum Village has been totally captured by reified postmodernism (wokeism) so I don't bother any more with it.
I have a young friend (he's 26) up here who I have been working with for a few years to set him up well with his Zazen. He has done very well so far and that gives me hope.
according to estimates that i have seen, Buddhism is set to go from 3 percent worldwide to 1 percent, sadly.
