Figures of Buddhist Modernity in Asia

Beschreibung

Introduces contemporary Buddhists from across Asia and from various walks of life. Eschewing traditional hagiographies, the editors have collected 66 profiles of individuals who would be excluded from most Buddhist histories and ethnographies. In addition to monks and nuns, readers will encounter artists, psychologists, social workers, part-time priests, healers, and librarians, as well as charlatans, hucksters, and rabble-rousers.
