Edition description: Drawing on the growing interest in methodological approaches to Buddhist studies, this volume explores how methodologies can shape our understanding of the diversity of Buddhist traditions throughout the ages. International contributors from the USA, Canada, UK, China and Japan explore case studies and reflect on methods in the study of Buddhism, united by their debt to influential Buddhist studies scholar Richard K. Payne.Methods in Buddhist Studies features new and original translations of rare materials, now available in English for the first time, as well as new ethnographic studies of rural and understudied areas of Japan. Topics discussed include the resurgence of Buddhism in contemporary China; Buddhist practices around food and consumption; the development of modern Buddhist Universities; rituals; consumerism; and the construction of the canon from such perspectives as history, textual studies, ritual studies.The chapters are drawn from both Payne’s students and his colleagues, demonstrating the breadth of his intellectual interests. Having served as the Dean of the Institute of Buddhist Studies, Berkeley, for over two decades and on multiple editorial and professional committees for the American Academy of Religion, Oxford University Press, and the University of Hawai'i Press, Payne’s scholarship has left a remarkable impact on the field, making this volume is essential reading for students and scholars of contemporary Buddhism and Buddhist studies.
