{"product_id":"an-introduction-to-engaged-buddhism-paul-fuller-9781350129078","title":"An Introduction to Engaged Buddhism","description":"This textbook introduces and explores the ideas, practices and philosophy of engaged Buddhism. The movement holds that suffering is not just caused by the cravings of the mind, but also by political and social factors; therefore, engaged Buddhists 'engage' with social issues to achieve liberation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Paul Fuller outlines the movement's origins and principles. He then offers a comprehensive analysis of the central themes and issues of engaged Buddhism, offering new insights into the formation of modern Buddhism. The range of issues covered includes politics, gender, environmentalism, identity, blasphemy and violence. These are illustrated by case studies and examples from a range of locations where Buddhism is practised. Discussion points and suggested further reading are provided at the end of each chapter, which will further enrich undergraduates' grasp of the topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Fuller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350129070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350129078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Paul Fuller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943894286591,"sku":"9781350129078","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d9f6655c-9d6d-4611-bdca-a574fba73962.jpg?v=1681500629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-engaged-buddhism-paul-fuller-9781350129078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
