Action Dharma: New Studies in Engaged Buddhism: Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism

Autor Christopher Queen Editat de Damien Keown, Charles S. Prebish
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 iun 2003
Action Dharma charts the emergence of a new chapter in an ancient faith - the rise of social service and political activism in Buddhist Asia and the West. Fourteen new essays treat the historical origins, global range, teachings and practices, and leaders and organizations that make up the latest turning of the Dharma. Environmentalism and peace walks through the minefields of Southeast Asia, the future of the 'untouchables' of Japan, and outreach to minorities and inmates of the criminal justice system in the West are some of the challenging topics considered.

Recenzii

'The editors do a nice job of balancing material among these various sections, all of which include interesting, informative articles.' - Journal of Asian Studies
'Yarnell's essay is consistently intelligent and should probably be read and pondered by all scholars working on engaged Buddhism as a discrete new phenomenon.' - Journal of Asian Studies
