Bibliography IndexReviewsIn this timely text, Paul Fuller updates and revitalizes scholarship on the increasing proliferation of engaged Buddhist expressions across a global landscape. In addition to illuminating key themes, he advances the category beyond its normative liberal and progressive boundaries by arguing persuasively that ethnocentric forms of Buddhism are also engaged. Compelling and clearly written, An Introduction to Engaged Buddhism is a must-read for both scholars and practitioners of Engaged Buddhism. * Ann Gleig, Associate Professor of Religion and Cultural Studies, University of Central Florida, USA * Paul Fuller articulates a broad definition of Engaged Buddhism, one that moves away from the assumption that Engaged Buddhist movements are always liberal/progressive and nonviolent. This more expansive definition represents a vital and needed development in the field. * Amy Langenberg, Associate Professor of Religion, Eckerd College, USA * Author InformationPaul Fuller is Teaching Fellow in Buddhist Studies at the University of Edinburgh, UK Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
