The 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.
