A "Commodius Vicus of Recirculation" Buddhism, Art, and Modernity --Selected Bibliography --Contributors --IndexThe first authoritative volume on the totality of Buddhism in the West, Westward Dharma establishes a comparative and theoretical perspective for considering the amazing variety of Buddhist traditions, schools, centers, and teachers that have developed outside of Asia. Leading scholars from North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia explore the plurality and heterogeneity of traditions and practices that are characteristic of Buddhism in the West. This recent, dramatic growth in Western Buddhism is accompanied by an expansion of topics and issues of Buddhist concern. The contributors to this volume treat such topics as the broadening spirit of egalitarianism; the increasing emphasis on the psychological, as opposed to the purely religious, nature of practice; scandals within Buddhist movements; the erosion of the distinction between professional and lay Buddhists; Buddhist settlement in Israel; the history of Buddhism in internment camps; repackaging Zen for the West; and women's dharma in the West. The interconnections of historical and theoretical approaches in the volume make it a rich, multi-layered resource.BuddhismMissionsHistoryBuddhismHistory20th centuryGlobalizationReligious aspectsBuddhismasia.australia.buddhism scholars.buddhism.buddhist practices.buddhist studies.buddhist teachings.buddhist traditions.comparative religions.dharma.diaspora.egalitarianism.ethics.europe.global religion.history of buddhism.israel.north america.psychology.religious philosophy.religious scholars.south africa.theoretical approach.theoretical perspective.western buddhists.western philosophy.western thought.western world.zen.BuddhismMissionsHistory.BuddhismHistoryGlobalizationReligious aspectsBuddhism.294.3/09Prebish Charles S920253Baumann Martin1960-234335MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248056603316Westward dharma2419559UNISA
