Portrays the foundational principles of Buddhist belief through the lives of believers, illustrating how the religion is put into practice in everyday life. Takes as its foundation the inherent diversity within Buddhist society, rather than focusing on the spiritual and philosophical elite within Buddhism. Its compelling biographical genre reveals how individuals have negotiated the choices, tensions, and rewards of living in a Buddhist society. Case studies have been carefully chosen to cover a range of Asian and modern Western Buddhists. The text convey a full sample of possible Buddhist orientations in contemporary and historical contexts"--Provided by publisher."Understanding Buddhism redresses this imbalance by exploring a fascinating series of life histories of individuals whose lives are far more representative of the ways in which Buddhists throughout time have embodied the tradition"--Provided by publisher.Lived ReligionsBuddhistsBiographyBuddhismElectronic books.BuddhistsBuddhism.294.3092/2REL007000bisacshLewis Todd1952-Nawang Ts'ampaSihlé NicolasMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453428603321Buddhists1989784UNINA03010oam 2200685I 450 991097085110332120251117010011.01-136-93922-91-136-93923-71-282-78143-X97866127814380-203-84714-810.4324/9780203847145 (CKB)2670000000044095(EBL)557276(OCoLC)664551601(SSID)ssj0000421306(PQKBManifestationID)12147410(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000421306(PQKBWorkID)10412666(PQKB)11612910(MiAaPQ)EBC557276(Au-PeEL)EBL557276(CaPaEBR)ebr10416571(CaONFJC)MIL278143(OCoLC)671643416(EXLCZ)99267000000004409520180706d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrJapanese women, class and the tea ceremony the voices of tea practitioners in northern Japan /Kaeko Chiba1st ed.London :Routledge,2011.1 online resource (230 p.)Japan anthropology workshop seriesDescription based upon print version of record.0-415-83792-8 0-415-55715-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Book Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Illustrations; Preface; Acknowledgements; 1 Introduction; 2 Identity work; 3 Time, space and the experience of chado; 4 Bourdieu's theory of capital and discourses on class; 5 Gender; 6 Class; 7 Raison d'être; Appendix A: Interviewees' and informants' background; Appendix B: Akita city; Glossary; Notes; References; IndexThis book examines the complex relationship between class and gender dynamics among tea ceremony (chad?) practitioners in Japan. Focusing on practitioners in a provincial city, Akita, the book surveys the rigid, hierarchical chad? system at grass roots level. Making critical use of Bourdieu's idea of cultural capital, it explores the various meanings of chad? for Akita women and argues that chad? has a cultural, economic, social and symbolic value and is used as a tool to improve gender and class equality.
