Specificatii
Buddhism is indisputably gaining prominence in the West, as is
evidenced by the growth of Buddhist practice within many traditions
and keen interest in meditation and mindfulness. In The Lotus and
the Lion, J. Jeffrey Franklin traces the historical and cultural
origins of Western Buddhism, showing that the British Empire was a
primary engine for curiosity about and then engagement with the
Buddhisms that the British encountered in India and elsewhere in
Asia. As a result, Victorian and Edwardian England witnessed the
emergence of comparative religious scholarship with a focus on
Buddhism, the appearance of Buddhist characters and concepts in
literary works, the publication of hundreds of articles on Buddhism
in popular and intellectual periodicals, and the dawning of
syncretic religions that incorporated elements derived from
Buddhism.In this fascinating book, Franklin analyzes responses to
and constructions of Buddhism by popular novelists and poets, early
scholars of religion, inventors of new religions, social theorists
and philosophers, and a host of social and religious commentators.
Examining the work of figures ranging from Rudyard Kipling and D.
H. Lawrence to H. P. Blavatsky, Thomas Henry Huxley, and F. Max
Muller, Franklin provides insight into cultural upheavals that
continue to reverberate into our own time. Those include the
violent intermixing of cultures brought about by imperialism and
colonial occupation, the trauma and self-reflection that occur when
a Christian culture comes face-to-face with another religion, and
the debate between spiritualism and materialism. The Lotus and the
Lion demonstrates that the nineteenth-century encounter with
Buddhism subtly but profoundly changed Western civilization
forever.
