Synopsis:
A new history of the spread and development of Buddhism in the West and its influence on Western culture.
From the early exchanges between the classical Greeks and the Buddhists of India, to the influence of Buddhism on the Western philosophy of Schopenhauer and Heidegger, this book addresses the epic story of the history of Buddhism coming to the West and its impact on our modern cultural landscape. It covers the trade of ideas along the Silk Road, the Jesuit encounter with Buddhism, the rise of the European orientalists, the rise of Theosophy and the Great Game, Asian Buddhist immigrants to America and Japanese Zen missions to the West, Western explorations and fantasies in forbidden Tibet, Beat Zen in the sixties and Crazy Wisdom, Buddhism takes root in the West: the Christian response and a hesitant ecumenism, and the Dalai Lama and the transformation of Buddhism in the West. |
