Buddhist-Based Universities in the United States: Searching for a
New Model in Higher Education investigates in depth four American
Buddhist universities, namely, the Dharma Realm Buddhist
University, the University of the West, the Soka University of
America, and the Naropa University, all of which offer degrees in
liberal arts and professional fields, and at the same time educate
their students in the philosophy and practices of Buddhism.
Buddhist universities in the United States are unique because there
are no comparable universities based on the philosophy and
practices of other Asian religions also popular in the United
States, such as Hinduism, Confucianism, or Sikhism. Even the Jewish
community has created only two universities in which professional
skills and liberal arts are taught from the position of the
moral-philosophical principles of Judaism. This book presents the
institutional history and academic programs of four Buddhist
universities in America and analyzes Buddhist-based pedagogical
principles, as well as teaching and learning techniques, which can
be very useful for other colleges and universities in the United
States.
