| Abstract | Buddhism and Taoism remain vibrant and prominent in Singapore's religious landscape. Yet, little is known of why Chinese Singaporeans chose and remain in these ancient religions. Analyzing over thirty face-to-face interviews with Buddhists and Taoists in Singapore, this book provides a glimpse into their fascinating narratives consisting of encounters and experiences with the presence and power of spiritual realities. A renewed understanding of Buddhism and Taoism will, hopefully, encourage readers of other religious traditions to create space for each other's religious identity. Only then can we continue to live and share a multi-religious environment within the small nation-state.
"A model for all--perhaps Western Christians particularly--of listening with openness, honesty, and respect. Dr. Low's inductive, relational approach yields intimate insights readers would have never gleaned otherwise, and [which they would have] remained poorer for having missed. He has sharpened the definition of religious identity and expanded the genres of dimensions that may sustain it. A thoughtful and thought-provoking work." |
