Explores the multiple ways in which Buddhisms have been defined and
constructed by Buddhists and scholars. Scholars have become
increasingly aware of their own role in the process of constructing
the Buddhist communities that they represent - a process in which
multiple representations of Buddhism compete with and complement
one another. The essays in this reader, written by leaders in the
field of Buddhist studies, consider a broad range of inquiries and
concerns, methods and approaches that contribute to understanding
and learning from constructions of Buddhisms, illuminating the
challenges and dilemmas involved in defining historical, social,
and political contexts. These different perspectives also
demonstrate that definitions of Buddhism have always been
contested. As an anthology, this volume also participates in the
process of construction, developing a framework in which recent
scholarship on Buddhisms can be productively related and
interpreted.
