Beschreibung:
Pascale F. Engelmajer has a PhD in Buddhist Studies from the University of Bristol, and now teaches at Carroll University in Wisconsin. She has been studying Buddhism for 20 years, and has lived and travelled widely in South East Asia. Her main interest lies in the role and status of women in Buddhist texts and practice. Dr Engelmajer has contributed to various books and articles on Buddhism in both English and French
Most introductions to Buddhism look at the life of the Buddha, and the practice of Buddhism in the West today. But this is rather like publishing a book on Christianity, and only mentioning Jesus and the Church of England. In this wide-ranging new study, Bristol University's Pascale Engelmajer seeks to relocate Buddhism in its historical and global context. This important new thinking is grounded in the stories of four people who are practising Buddhism around the world in very different ways. By celebrating the diversity of Buddhism, Dr Engelmajer tells a story that is often lost beneath Western talk (and confusion) about Feng Shui, yoga, and the Dalai Lama.
All that matters about Buddhism. 'All That Matters' is an exciting new series from Hodder, with authors that matter writing about subjects that matter.
