{"product_id":"buddhism-in-canada-bruce-matthews-9780415322799","title":"Buddhism in Canada","description":"Buddhism has become a major religion in Canada over the last half-century. The 'ethnic Buddhism' associated with immigrant Asian people is the most important aspect, but there is also a growing constituency of Euro-Canadian Buddhists seriously interested in the faith. This insightful study analyzes the phenomenon of Buddhism in Canada from a regional perspective. The work provides an important examination of the place of Buddhism in a developed western country associated with a traditional Judeo-Christian culture, but undergoing profound sociological transformation due to large-scale immigration and religio-cultural pluralism. It is a valuable text for students of religion, Buddhism and North American Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415322790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415322799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.22w x 0.62d","brand":"Bruce Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086588195071,"sku":"9780415322799","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82408818-371b-4d36-bffb-7edad8ec0447.jpg?v=1769095546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddhism-in-canada-bruce-matthews-9780415322799","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
