| Abstract | 目前亞洲已躍然成為世界經濟的中心，了解支撐整個亞洲文化的基石成為當務之急。佛教是世界上最大也是最古老的宗教，對於現代亞洲人的生活影響亟鉅，正是我們必須研究的對象。本書已全面的角度來探討佛教如何順應近現代社會與政治的變局，成為世界上最為古老、信徒最多的宗教。作者收錄全球傑出佛教僧信的作品，闡述佛教不僅在亞洲盛行不絕，對於北美文化也有重大的影響，作者除了討論佛教對於現代化的挑戰如何予以回應，也說明佛教行者如何將自己融入這樣的變革之中。
Collecting the work of leading authorities on Buddhism in different societies around the world, this book details the state of the religion in Asian countries where it is a major cultural influence and in North America. The religion has changed to meet the challenges of modernity; its practitioners have incorporated those innovations and this work examines those changes in-depth.
A comprehensive overview of historical Buddhist practice grounds the reader for the entire nine chapters, each of which is organized by geographical area and follows the path Buddhism took as it spread across Asia and into North America. Each chapter presents field research and critical reflection on what constitutes modern Buddhism in one of nine countries or regions. Histories of Buddhism are common; this is the only source for in-depth information on modern Buddhism. |
