{"product_id":"buddhist-materiality-fabio-rambelli-9780804756822","title":"Buddhist Materiality: A Cultural History of Objects in Japanese Buddhism","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout its history, Buddhism has developed a sophisticated philosophy of materiality, addressing the status of material objects and their role in the quest for salvation. This is an innovative book that addresses the ways in which Buddhism has conceived of, and dealt with, material objects ranging from the environment to everyday tools, ritual implements, icons, and sacred texts. Contrary to received assumptions, careful reading of original sources and study of ritual practices show that in Buddhism the realm of materiality is not simply an obstacle for spiritual pursuits but also a space for interplay in which human beings can give shape and expression to their deepest religious and spiritual ideas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabio Rambelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804756821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804756822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.49w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 19","brand":"Fabio Rambelli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059762229503,"sku":"9780804756822","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b18c42f-7bb6-441b-8a97-8e9a95a55d9f.jpg?v=1685060182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddhist-materiality-fabio-rambelli-9780804756822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
