Natural disasters that have struck Asian countries in recent years
have brought global attention to the work of local Buddhist
communities and international humanitarian groups operating on
Buddhist principles. Buddhist monks and nuns, even in the most
conservative tradition, have engaged with survivors and families of
the deceased in difficult contexts and are making active
contribution to the development of civil society. Contributors of
this volume have conducted research in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka,
Myanmar, and Cambodia and examine both local Buddhist communities
and international organizations engaged in a variety of relief work
in China, Taiwan and Japan. They explore the variety of ways in
which Buddhist traditions and organizations are being reconstructed
through local and international aid work in ways more engaged with
and more relevant to human problems in the contemporary world.
