Reviewed by Fenggang Yang , Department of Sociology, University of Houston. http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~amrel/ The Challenge of Defining Following the first strike of Japanese Zen Buddhism in the 1950s, the United States has become host to a bewildering variety of Buddhist forms. Today, virtually all Buddhist sects originated in Asian countries are present in America. Meanwhile, American adherents and scholar-practitioners of Buddhism have been trying hard to define, or invent, a distinctive American Buddhism. This book is a very informative collection that shows some of the many faces of, and problems of defining, American Buddhism. As most chapter authors themselves are practitioners of particular Buddhist sects, it provides fascinating insiders' accounts of various sub-traditions and dimensions of Buddhism in America.

Additional materials: Map The Socialist Republic of Vietnam Map Nam Viet as of 211 B.C. One must begin with a sense of the richness and variety of traditional Vietnamese religion. Time was when the Vietnamese believed they inhabited a world alive with gods and spirits. Little distinction was made between the worlds of the living and the dead, between the human, the vegetable, the animal, and the mineral realms. If fate smiled upon one, nature, too, would be kind; but if one was cursed by fate, then even the elements would be hostile. The stones, the mountains, the trees, the streams and the rivers, and even the very air were full of these deities, ghosts and spirits. Some were benevolent, some were malicious; all had to be conciliated through ritual offerings and appropriate behavior. So life was regulated by a vast array of beliefs and practices, taboos and injunctions, all designed to leash in these powers that held sway over human life. How much and in what way religion guided one's daily conduct depended on one's background. Confucian scholars, who prided themselves for their rationality, often scoffed at what they considered the superstitious nature of peasant religion. But they, too, were ruled by religious ideas. Different occupational groups had their own beliefs and practices. Fishermen, who pursued a much more hazardous livelihood than the peasants, were notorious for the variety and richness of their taboos. Some beliefs were shared by all Vietnamese. Others were adhered to only in one region or a small locality. Some were so deeply embedded in the culture as to be considered a part of tradition, holding sway over believers and non-believers alike.

    Extractions: Flaming Lotus: Sacrifice in Buddhist Practice Sarah Brundage s The self-immolation of Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc at a busy intersection in Saigon on June 11, 1963 utterly shocked most Americans who could not fathom why a person would commit such a horrific act.  Without trying to explore any feasible explanations within this man’s religion, many decided that he was probably just a fanatic who wanted to make a political statement in the most appalling manner possible.  Was that the case?  Was Quang Duc simply a political activist pushed to the limit, or was he acting with motivation derived from his religion?  To answer this question, one must evaluate the function of sacrifice within the Buddhist tradition. As with many religions, Buddhism offers its practitioners the opportunity for different levels of involvement on the spiritual path towards enlightenment.  This spectrum of involvement ranges from one who practices with minimal sacrifice primarily to achieve personal spiritual gain to one who sacrifices his or her life with the hope of benefiting all of humanity.  Furthermore, as a person moves along this spectrum from little to great sacrifice, one also harbors a growing commitment to the spiritual welfare of all sentient beings.  As the kinds of practice and sacrifice are explained for different levels of involvement in the religion, it will become clear that the relative commitment to help others directly correlates to the stage of practice and sacrifice.  Additionally, an intriguing comparison will be made between these concepts within Buddhism and very similar concepts with the Jewish tradition of mystical or contemplative death.

    Extractions: Thank you for a bit of Bob’s personal history with Buddhism. I studied, and tried to practice Zen Buddhism for several years, but eventually slipped back into my lazy ways – of being simply “myself.” Though I certainly appreciate those who pursue Buddhism or Taoism it is important to understand that any religion that is chosen, as an adult, because of its intellectual appeal is bound to be quite different from that which one is born into and culturally surrounded by. I have read much Oriental literature/fiction, both Chinese and Japanese, and there one finds some of the meat of the matter – how the common person, the peasant, the intellectual, the politician, those in charge, see and practice their religion. For the “peasant” especially, the blind adherence to any faith is devoid of any intellectual choice, and there was (is) great dependence on the gods and a handful of the faith’s tenets – but never any intellectual choice involved. I remember that at one point, a long time ago, I read some conversations (probably apocryphal) between Lao Tzu and Confucius, and something clicked for me regarding making a deep study of the whole matter. When Confucius spoke to Lao Tzu about goodness and duty, the latter pooh-poohed any fixation on such abstractions and any writings by the sages who discuss them. I believe he was right.

    Extractions: Vietnamese Buddhism The classical period of Buddhism in South East Asia was from the 11th to the 15th century. In this period, there were several elements which made it classical. Buddhism, in the classical time period, had homogeneity of form and institutional orthodoxy, as well as helped to formulate kingship. Buddhism, in this time period, tended to follow the Theravada tradition. Since the 19th century, Buddhism has continued to act as a structure for East Asian societies. Despite the challenges that western science has had on Buddhism, it has provided cultural and ideological support for modern, nationalist movements. Buddhism has also offered solutions to political, economic, and social change. Vietnam, however, is different from the "norm" of the traditional South East Asian period of Classical Buddhism, since it was strongly impacted by the Chinese . With communist revolutions, Buddhism was displaced to as a fundamental mediator of cultural values. Historically, Buddhism played a significant role in the definition of the classical South East Asian states. With Buddhism, when a country was dominated by a colonial power, nationalist movements grew out of and identified with a religious context. An example of this is the 1960 Buddhist protests, in which the Buddhist monks immolated themselves in fire. After the removal of Deim and his brother Nhu, the United Buddhist Association, which was under the leadership of Thich Tri Quang and Thich Thien Minh, remained politically active. "Vietnamese are Confucians in peacetime, Buddhists in times of trouble." (

    Extractions: of Magical Maynard Breathe! You are Alive! Welcome to the home-page of the Clock Tower Sangha of Maynard, Massachusetts. We are a community of mindfulness students and practitioners who live in the towns northwest of Boston, Massachusetts. We are a diverse community of Buddhist practitioners inspired by teachings from many different Buddhist traditions, especially those of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and Zen priest Claude AnShin Thomas, both of whom urge us to enact mindfulness moment to moment in everything we do in daily life. We gather to practice sitting, walking, and other forms of mindfulness meditation together and to support each other in our practice and in our daily lives. Our sangha is affiliated with the Zaltho Sangha, which is part of the White Plum Soto Zen community in the United States, and with the Tiep Hien Order (Order of Interbeing), which is part of the Unified Buddhist Church. The Tiep Hien Order was founded byThich Nhat Hanh in the1960s as a way to engage the practices of mindfulness more directly in the world The Zaltho Sangha was founded by Claude AnShin Thomas, a Zen Priest and Brother of the Zen Peacemaker Order, in the 1990s with a similar purpose. Some of our members are long-time students of mindfulness; others are relatively new to the practice. Some of us have studied directly with teachers such as Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sylvia Boorstein, AnShin Thomas, Thich Nhat Hanh and others; and others of us come from diverse practice traditions in the vipassana, zen and Tibetan Buddhist worlds as well as from non-Buddhist traditions. We welcome everyone and we are enriched by the experiences and insights which come from each one of us.
