Description
In this timely text, Paul Fuller updates and revitalizes scholarship on the increasing proliferation of engaged Buddhist expressions across a global landscape. In addition to illuminating key themes, he advances the category beyond its normative liberal and progressive boundaries by arguing persuasively that ethnocentric forms of Buddhism are also engaged. Compelling and clearly written, An Introduction to Engaged Buddhism is a must-read for both scholars and practitioners of Engaged Buddhism.

Compelling and clearly written, An Introduction to Engaged Buddhism is a must-read for both scholars and practitioners of Engaged Buddhism.
Paul Fuller articulates a broad definition of Engaged Buddhism, one that moves away from the assumption that Engaged Buddhist movements are always liberal/progressive and nonviolent. This more expansive definition represents a vital and needed development in the field.
