This textbook introduces and explores the ideas, practices and philosophy of engaged Buddhism. The movement holds that suffering is not just caused by the cravings of the mind, but also by political and social factors; therefore, engaged Buddhists 'engage' with social issues to achieve liberation. Paul Fuller outlines the movement's origins and principles. He then offers a comprehensive analysis of the central themes and issues of engaged Buddhism, offering new insights into the formation of modern Buddhism. The range of issues covered includes politics, gender, environmentalism, identity, blasphemy and violence. These are illustrated by case studies and examples from a range of locations where Buddhism is practised. Discussion points and suggested further reading are provided at the end of each chapter, which will further enrich undergraduates' grasp of the topic.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the relative calm world of Japanese Buddhist scholarship was thrown into chaos with the publication of several works by Buddhist scholars Hakamaya Noriaki and Matsumoto Shiro, dedicated to the promotion of something they called Critical Buddhism (hihan bukkyo). In their quest to re-establish a "true" - rational, ethical and humanist - form of East Asian Buddhism, the Critical Buddhists undertook a radical deconstruction of historical and contemporary East Asian Buddhism, particularly Zen. While their controversial work has received some attention in English-language scholarship, this is the first book-length treatment of Critical Buddhism as both a philosophical and religious movement, where the lines between scholarship and practice blur. Providing a critical and constructive analysis of Critical Buddhism, particularly the epistemological categories of critica and topica, this book examines contemporary theories of knowledge and ethics in order to situate Critical Buddhism within modern Japanese and Buddhist thought as well as in relation to current trends in contemporary Western thought.

The Symbolisms in Buddhism was transcribed and organized into a format to promote understanding of the philosophies of Buddhism, and learn the meanings of Buddhist symbols, rituals, and practice. It should be read with an open mind so as to overcome the perception of Buddhism as an esoteric philosophy and religion. This writing is for those who are eager to discover the Dharma teachings that are hidden in the statues and decorations at the Buddhist temple, the ceremonies and rituals at the altar, and the Pali and Sanskrit translations of the Sutras. Buddhism is generally well-known as a practice of meditation and mindfulness. However, it is important to understand the history and philosophies of what the Buddha taught in order to practice the teachings at a deeper level. This book is a translation of the sermons delivered by the Venerable Thích Pháp Hòa. It is organized into chapters covering the key topics that comprise the core philosophy of Buddhism. The beginning chapters go into great depth to define who the Buddha is, his birth, Enlightenment, and Nirvana. The main doctrines of study in Buddhism, which are the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Thirty-Seven Paths to Enlightenment, the Middle Path, Cause and Condition, and Cause and Effect are discussed. The symbolisms found in the environment at a Buddhist temple, the decorations at the altar, and the statues of the Bodhisattvas and Buddha are described in detail. The important philosophies of impermanence, non-self, non-reality, and interbeing are explained in relation to their corresponding symbolic objects. The topics of wisdom and knowledge are contrasted and applying the teachings to practice is emphasized. The chapter "The Practice" describes at great length on how to apply the Dharma teachings to our life to attain wisdom, foster compassion, and generate blessings in order to achieve the enlightened and virtuous mind. There are 48 beautiful hand drawn illustrations to facilitate the understanding of the symbolisms and correlate to the descriptions.

During the Republican period (1912–1949) and after, many Chinese Buddhists sought inspiration from non-Chinese Buddhist traditions, showing a particular interest in esoteric teachings. What made these Buddhists dissatisfied with Chinese Buddhism, and what did they think other Buddhist traditions could offer? Which elements did they choose to follow, and which ones did they disregard? And how do their experiences recast the wider story of twentieth-century pan-Asian Buddhist reform movements? Based on a wide range of previously unexplored Chinese sources, this book explores how esoteric Buddhist traditions have shaped the Chinese religious landscape. Wei Wu examines cross-cultural religious transmission of ideas from Japanese and Tibetan traditions, considering the various esoteric currents within Chinese Buddhist communities and how Chinese individuals and groups engaged with newly translated ideas and practices. She argues that Chinese Buddhists’ assimilation of doctrinal, ritual, and institutional elements of Tibetan and Japanese esoteric Buddhism was not a simple replication but an active process of creating new meanings. Their visions of Buddhism in the modern world, as well as early twentieth-century discourses of nation building and religious reform, shaped the reception of esoteric traditions. By analyzing the Chinese interpretation and strategic adaptations of esoteric Buddhism, this book sheds new light on the intellectual development, ritual performances, and institutional formations of Chinese Buddhism in the twentieth century.
