"Manages to give a flavor of adaptations made and being made within
Buddhism, not merely as a result of its encounter with
modernization, but also because of its historical diversity. In a
book that probably has a chapter or two to fit everyone's
interests--perusal of the index certainly gave me room for
optimism--I found it rewarding also to find areas new to me
addressed in accessible and engaging ways."--Journal of Global
Buddhism
"This volume should be of general interest to scholars of religion.
For Buddhologists, in particular, it addresses a lacuna in the
field and marks a step forward in considering the complex issues
raised by Buddhist modernism."--The Journal of Asian Studies
