A comprehensive overview of modern Buddhism across cultures,
showing how this ancient religion has adapted to recent social and
political change. Collecting the work of leading authorities on
Buddhism in different societies around the world, this book details
the state of the religion in Asian countries where it is a major
cultural influence and in North America. The religion has changed
to meet the challenges of modernity; its practitioners have
incorporated those innovations and this work examines those changes
in-depth. A comprehensive overview of historical Buddhist practice
grounds the reader for the entire nine chapters, each of which is
organized by geographical area and follows the path Buddhism took
as it spread across Asia and into North America. Each chapter
presents field research and critical reflection on what constitutes
modern Buddhism in one of nine countries or regions. Histories of
Buddhism are common; this is the only source for in-depth
information on modern Buddhism.
