Buddhism in the Global Eye
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-14063-9 (ISBN)
Using case studies from China, Japan, Vietnam, India, Tibet, Canada, and the USA, the book introduces new research that reveals the permeable nature of certain categories, such as "modern", "global", and "contemporary" Buddhism. In the book, contributors recognize the multiple nodes of intra-Asian and global influence. For example, monks travelled among Asian countries creating networks of information and influence, mutually stimulating each other's modernization movements. The studies demonstrate that in modernization movements, Asian reformers mobilized all available cultural resources both to adapt local forms of Buddhism to a new global context and to shape new foreign concepts to local Asian forms.
John S. Harding is Associate Professor in East Asian Religions at the University of Lethbridge, Canada. Victor Sogen Hori was formerly Associate Professor in Japanese Religion in the School of Religious Studies at McGill University, Canada. He is also a former Buddhist monk. Alexander Soucy is Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Saint Mary's University, Canada.
