This book argues that Buddhism has spread due to globalized
capitalism, and explores how capitalism is also impacting Buddhists
and Buddhism today. Edited by two leading scholars in Buddhist
studies, the book examines how capitalism and neo-liberalism have
shaped global perceptions of Buddhism, as well as specific local
practices and attitudes. It examines the institutional practices
that sustained the spread of Buddhism for two and a half millennia,
and the adaptation of Buddhist institutions in contemporary, global
economic systems-particularly in Europe and the United States over
the last century and half. These innovative essays on the
interfaces between Buddhism and capitalism will prompt readers to
rethink the connection between Buddhism and secular society. Case
studies include digital capitalism, tourism, and monasticism, and
are drawn from the USA, Tibet, China, Japan, and Thailand.
