Reseña del libro "Korean Buddhism. Selected Readings from Primary Texts (en Inglés)"

This book presents the first comprehensive introduction to Korean Buddhism through twenty-five key primary texts spanning the seventh to twenty-first centuries. All have been expertly translated by leading scholars in the field. The volume introduction provides an overview of major themes that illuminates the diverse sources that follow. The texts, each prefaced by a brief introduction and list of recommended reading, delve into core Buddhist teachings, meditation practice, pilgrimage, intercultural exchanges, and interreligious conflict. Several touch on contemporary concerns, such as social engagement, colonialism, moral psychology, and conflict resolution, and Buddhism’s contribution to women’s liberation and engagement with marginalized communities. Others present insights into the ways in which Buddhism becomes distinctly Korean and the effects of modernity and colonialism on Korean Buddhism, in addition to overarching concerns like the nature of reality and embodying truth in our lives. Accessible and wide-ranging, Korean Buddhism: Selected Readings from Primary Texts will serve not only students and those relatively new to the subject, but also scholars interested in the intersection of Korean religious thought and global philosophy. It will be an essential resource for Korean religious studies, Buddhist studies, and spiritual exploration alike.
