Descrizione
About The Book: Buddhism in the Modern World by Kenneth J. Saunders explores how Buddhism has responded to challenges such as colonialism, science, globalization, and secularization. The book examines the reinterpretation of Buddhist teachings in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in Sri Lanka, Burma, and India under Western colonial influence. Saunders discusses the intersection of Buddhism and science, the secularization of practices like mindfulness, and the spread of Buddhism to the West. He also highlights modern Buddhist leaders, like the Dalai Lama, addressing global social, political, and environmental issues.
