This book explores the remarkable religious renaissance that has
reformed, revitalized, and renewed the practices of Buddhism and
Daoism in Taiwan. "Democracy's Dharma" connects these noteworthy
developments to Taiwan's transition to democracy and the burgeoning
needs of its new middle classes. Richard Madsen offers fresh
thinking on Asian religions and shows that the public religious
revival was not only encouraged by the early phases of the
democratic transition but has helped to make that transition
successful and sustainable. Madsen makes his argument through vivid
case studies of four groups - Tzu Chi (the Buddhist Compassion
Relief Association), Buddha's Light Mountain, Dharma Drum Mountain,
and the Enacting Heaven Temple - and his analysis demonstrates that
the Taiwan religious renaissance embraces a democratic modernity.
