| Résumé: | Although academic research on Buddhism has been traditionally associated with a textual approach, the last decade has seen a significant growth of scholarly interest in how Buddhism is actually practiced both by religious specialists and by laypeople. Studying Buddhism in Practice resolutely participates in this trend by providing a welcome overview of religious practices in different Buddhist traditions and social contexts. This collection stands out for its up-to-date survey of the research hitherto conducted on the practice of Buddhism, as well as for its concrete explanation of the way in which academic knowledge about religion is produced., This book is explicitly designed as a pedagogical instrument for undergraduate teaching in the field of religious or Buddhist studies. |
