Drawing on the previous studies on Buddhist modernization and westernization, it provides a better understanding of the westernization of Buddhism and its adapted practices and rituals in the host culture. Using rhetorical criticism methodology, the author approaches this temple as an embodiment of Buddhist rhetoric with both discursive and non-discursive expressions within the discourses of modernity. By analyzing the rhetorical practices at the temple through abbots? teaching videos, the temple website, members? dharma names, and the materiality of the temple space and artifacts, the author discovers how Buddhist rhetoric functions to constitute and negotiate the religious identities of the community members through its various rituals and activities. At the same time, the author examines how the temple?s space and settings facilitate the collective the formation and preservation of the Buddhist identity. Through a nuanced discussion of Buddhist rhetoric, this book illuminates a new rhetorical methodology to understand religious identity construction. Furthermore, it offers deeper insights into the future development of modern Buddhism, which are also applicable to Buddhist practitioners and other major world religions. 606 $aZen Buddhism$zUnited States 606 $aGlobalization$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligion and culture 606 $aBuddhism 606 $aBuddhism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A2000 606 $aIntercultural Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N68000 606 $aApplied Linguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N13000 615 0$aZen Buddhism 615 0$aGlobalization$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReligion and culture. 615 0$aBuddhism. 615 14$aBuddhism. 615 24$aIntercultural Communication. 615 24$aApplied Linguistics. 676 $a294.3 700 $aZhang$b Fan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0982169 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350208203321 996 $aBuilding and Negotiating Religious Identities in a Zen Buddhist Temple$92273091 997 $aUNINA
