This book highlights what Buddhism has to offer for "living well"
here and now-for individuals, society as a whole, all sentient
beings and the planet itself. From the perspectives of a variety of
Buddhist thinkers, the book evaluates what a good life is like,
what is desirable for human society, and ways in which we should
live in and with the natural world. By examining this-worldly
Buddhist philosophy and movements in India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the
Tibetan diaspora, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and the United States, the
book assesses what Buddhists offer for the building of a good
society. It explores the proposals and programs made by progressive
and widely influential lay and monastic thinkers and activists, as
well as the works of movement leaders such as Thich Nhat Hanh and
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, for the social, economic, political and
environmental systems in their various countries. Demonstrating
that Buddhism is not solely a path for the realization of nirvana
but also a way of living well here and now, this book will be of
interest to researchers working on contemporary and modern
Buddhism, Buddhism and society, Asian religion and Engaged
Buddhism.
