Course 7.5 credits • RHID86
This course introduces major Engaged Buddhist movements from Asia and around the globe. It offers knowledge and provides reflection opportunities for differentiating between self-designation practices by Engaged Buddhists and analytical approaches to the development and agency of contemporary Buddhist movements.
The course contextualizes these movements from a historical perspective, focusing on the emergence of the pan-Asian inner Buddhist renewal around 1900. Often originating in Asia, Buddhist movements are today acting globally and the course enables the students to understand Engaged Buddhism in the context of global religious actors.
