Opis

This book analyzes what Buddhism has to offer in envisioning the possibilities of "living well" here and now for individuals, society as a whole, all sentient beings and the planet itself.

Recenzje

"This volume is a timely addition to the growing literature on Buddhist ethics, Buddhist modernism, and contemporary Buddhist social movements. Jenkins’s lived-religion approach, and his theoretical push to think critically about the privileging of texts in Buddhist moral thought in particular, offer a new frame for thinking about questions of the Buddhist good life and Buddhist engagement as presented in part two of the volume. This volume will be of interest to scholars working in the field of contemporary Buddhist studies and is appropriate for assignment in graduate courses and upper-level undergraduate seminars." - Timothy Loftus, Journal of Buddhist Ethics
