This fact is surprising when we consider the pioneering works of Henri de Lubac (1952), which initiated historical- textual methodology in the study of the Westward spread of Buddhism. However, with the exception of publications by Buddhist sympathizers or supporters and sporadic visits of journalists to French Buddhists groups, schol- ars showed little interest in the spread of Buddhism in France between the 1950s and the 1990s. In the early 1990s, a new generation of researchers emerged who skillfully combined historical-textual investigation with fieldwork. Never- theless, few books on Buddhism in France were available in the late 1990s.1 The two volumes published by Frédéric Lenoir (his doctoral thesis in sociol- ogy) are offered to remedy the ÒpenuryÓ of French scholarly surveys.

  • 2013 Spirituality in France - Through Festival D'avallon (Festival of Avallon)
    DOCUMENT DE TRAVAIL – CHERPA - 2013 Spirituality in France - through Festival d'Avallon (Festival of Avallon) Tamiyo SHIROYA, Doctorante CHERPA Theme The declining influence of traditional religions on thoughts and behaviors is observable in many industrially advanced societies since the second half of the last century. There has been an obvious decrease in the total number of people who attend church or who consider themselves to be religious. Could it signify the beginning of the “death” of religion? We believe these phenomena point to a transformation of religiosity. You may probably know some people around you who practice Yoga or meditation on a regular basis, occasionally go on retreats to Buddhist temples or monasteries, preferring using alternative medicine to conventional medicines, use essential oils or go to see a chiropractor, eat organic food, believe in reincarnation, or who place an emphasis on emotions or feelings rather than the rational mind, etc. Many of these practices or philosophies can be of a religious nature, but they take place outside the institutionalized religious frameworks, on an individual basis. The starting point for choosing this topic for my dissertation were my personal experiences in the Netherlands. I lived there a couple of years and have maintained close contact with that society since then. Initially I had believed what many people, especially of younger generations, were saying: I'm non-religious. But after some period of time, I figured out that there is a religious flavor in the behavior or the perspective on life of these people who consider themselves to be skeptics or atheists.

McKenzie University of Aberdeen Sociological Research Online, 16 (3) 7 <http://www.socresonline.org.uk/16/3/7.html> 10.5153/sro.2446 Received: 10 Jun 2011 Accepted: 15 Aug 2011 Published: 31 Aug 2011 Abstract Many studies on the westward transplantation of Buddhism focus on the retention of traditional authenticity. The sociological perspective provided here moves the emphasis to the social construction of such claims. The social construction of traditional authenticity will be explored through a study of the Tibetan Buddhist organisation, Rokpa Scotland (RS) and it will be demonstrated that RS constructs claims to traditional authenticity by adapting to the local culture whilst demonstrating links with an ancient practice. These claims are then reified by limiting adaptations and retaining core features associated with Buddhism. None the less adapting to the West can be seen as detraditionalization and can present a threat to claims to traditional authenticity. However, RS can claim to control the detraditionalization process by responding to the effects of reflexive modernization and controlling the flow of information. In controlling detraditionalization RS provides the plausibility structures to maintain claims to traditional authenticity. Keywords: Tibetan Buddhism, Scotland, Transplantation, Reflexive Modernization, Detraditionalization, Social Constructionism Introduction 1.1 This paper offers a sociological perspective on one example of the transplantation of Buddhism to the West. This is a significant area of study for sociologists because an eastern religion has come into contact with the West, which has become characterised by reflexive modernization.

  • Purification Buddhist Movement, 1954-62: the Recovery of Traditional Monasticism from Japanized Buddhism in South Korea
    Purification Buddhist Movement, 1954-62: The Recovery of Traditional Monasticism from Japanized Buddhism in South Korea By Chanju Mun ABSTRACT The main theme of this article is to introduce Purification Buddhist Movement (Jeonghwa Bulgyo Undong), without which the readers cannot understand current Korean Buddhism. Even so, the movement has never been introduced to outside of South Korea, so the writer is to inform the readers of visualizing the movement’s general picture. There are only several academic articles on the movement even in the Korean language. In 2000, Korean Buddhists held a seminar on the movement in the first time and in 2001 published the first academic book on the subject with the collection of the articles presented at the seminar.1 Gim Gwangsik, specialist in modern and contemporary Korean Buddhism, leading the research on the subject, along with I Cheolgyo, compiled source materials for Purification Buddhist movement in 1996,2 which smoothly paved historians and sociologists in modern and current Korean Buddhism to conduct research on the movement academically and extensively. Based upon the source materials, he also published several papers on it in various journals and recently included them in his two books, published in 2000 and 2006 respectively.3 The Monastic Alumni Association of Dongguk University published a general historical book on modern Korean Buddhism in 19974 and discussed various subjects under five parts, (1) religious orders, (2) propagation, (3) text translation, (4) education, (5) culture, and

It looks at the Diamond Way, a contemporary Karma bKa' brgyud lay movement founded by the Danish lay teacher Ole Nydahl. The paper aims to open this area of study by employing a balanced approach between a hermeneutics of suspicion and a hermeneutics of trust, and by adding the historical-critical approach of Tibetan Buddhist Studies to the perspectives of sociology and cultural anthropology. Acknowledging Nydahl as both a charismatic and controversial figure within contemporary Buddhism, the discussion focuses on notions of lay and yogi Buddhism in the Diamond Way and on the question of westernization in Diamond Way practices. The paper concludes by raising questions about the future, continuity and change of Nydahl's heritage after his death.

Journal of Buddhist Ethics Volume 4, 1997: 194-211 uddhismÕs dramatic growth in Western countries, observable for about the past three decades, has been accompanied by an increased number of Buddhist books and scholarly studies. BWhereas the former publications focus mainly on personal experiences and religious expositions given by Buddhist practitioners, the latter historically describe and sociologically analyze developments of the transplantation and adaptation of Buddhist traditions in Western countries. This rigid division should not be taken too strictly as Western Buddhists including Paul Croucher, Rick Fields, and Stephen Batchelor have written excellent geographical accounts of Buddhist developments. Likewise, some scholars (e.g., Guiseppe Tucci) have drifted into the Buddhist camp as a result of their long years of study, continuing to present academic and comparative investigations. Also, an increasing number of Buddhists have become academic scholars as a result of their personal interest in Buddhism, such as Robert Thurman and Donald Lopez.
