Buddhism in the Global Eye focuses on the importance of a global
context and transnational connections for understanding Buddhist
modernizing movements. It also explores how Asian agency has been
central to the development of modern Buddhism, and provides
theoretical reflections that seek to overcome misleading East-West
binaries. 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.
