Dixie Dharma: Inside a Buddhist Temple in the American South
ISBN: 9781469618876 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Buddhism in the United States is often viewed in connection with practitioners in the Northeast and on the West Coast, but in fact, it has been spreading and evolving throughout the United States since the mid-nineteenth century.

ISBN: 9786162150685 / Angielski / Miękka / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is a Buddhist monastery? We might define it as a long-term residence of monastics, whether monks or nuns, but even this basic definition fails to cover the whole Buddhist world. In all periods and regions, the architectural, social, and religious organization of Buddhist places of worship and monastic residence have varied considerably. This collection is the result of an international research program conducted by the Bangkok branch of the Ecole francaise d?Extreme-Orient between 1997 and 2003. The simple and straightforward title belies the uniqueness of the work, for this is... What is a Buddhist monastery?

In contemporary Thai Buddhism, the burgeoning popularity of vipassan meditation is dramatically impacting the lives of those most closely involved with its practice: monks and mae chee (lay nuns) living in monastic communities.
