Encounters, networks, identities and diversity are at the core of the history of Buddhism. They are also the focus of Buddhist Encounters and Identities across East Asia , edited by Ann Heirman, Carmen Meinert and Christoph Anderl. While long-distance networks allowed Buddhist ideas to travel to all parts of East Asia, it was through local and trans-local networks and encounters, and a diversity of people and societies, that identities were made and negotiated. This book undertakes a detailed examination of discrete Buddhist identities rooted in unique cultural practices, beliefs and indigenous socio-political conditions. Moreover, it presents a fascinating picture of the intricacies of the regional and cross-regional networks that connected South and East Asia.

Het boeddhisme is zonder twijfel een van de grote wereldreligies. In het tweeënhalve millennium dat ons scheidt van de geboorte van de historische Boeddha heeft zijn leer zich verspreid naar Zuid-, Zuidoost- en Oost-Azië.Het boeddhisme heeft het filosofisch en religieus leven van verscheidene volkeren diepgaand beïnvloed of is zelfs een integraal deel van hun traditionele cultuur geworden. Ook in de Verenigde Staten en Europa geniet het boeddhisme een groeiende belangstelling.In dit werk, 'Boeddha, zijn Leer en zijn gemeenschap', wordt de geschiedenis van het boeddhisme geschetst. Hierbij is er aandacht voor het levensverhaal van de historische Boeddha, voor de filosofie van de vroegste leer, en voor de filosofische en religieuze ontwikkelingen van de leer in de verschillende gebieden waar de leer van de Boeddha zich naartoe verspreidde. Ook de organisatie van het kloosterleven krijgt ruime aandacht. Het boek is aangevuld met een uitgebreide bibliografie. (Bron: flaptekst)

"Buddhist monasteries, in both Ancient India and China, have played a crucial social role, for religious as well as for lay people. They rightfully attract the attention of many scholars, discussing historical backgrounds, institutional networks, or influential maters. Still, some aspects of monastic life have not yet received the attention they deserve. This book therefore aims to study some of the most essential, but often overlooked, issues of Buddhist life: namely, practices and objects of bodily care. For monastic authors, bodily care primarily involves bathing, washing, cleaning, shaving and triming the nails, activities of everyday life that are performed by lay people and moastics alike. In this sense, they are all highly recognizable and, while structuring monastic life, equally provide a potential bridge between two worlds that are constantly interacting with each other: monastic people and their lay followers. Bodily practices might by viewed as relatiely simple and elementary, but it is exactly through their triviality that they give us a clear insight into the structure and development of Buddhist monasteries. Over time, Buddhist monks and nuns have, through their painstaking effort into regulating bodily care, defined the identity of Buddhist saṃgha, overtly displaying it to the laity"--Back cover
