BUDDHISM IN DIALOGUE WITH CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIE...

The growing pluralization of religion and culture in Europe means that we encounter an
increasing number of Buddhist immigrants as well as 'Western' converts. Against this background
in June 2018  the Academy of World Religions and the Numata Center for Buddhist Studies at the
University of Hamburg (Germany)  invited scholars of Theravada  East Asian and Tibetan
Buddhism. The questions discussed referred to:- Does Buddhism matter today? What can it
contribute?- Must Buddhism adapt to the modern world? How can Buddhism adapt to a non-Asia
context?- When Buddhism travels  what must be preserved if Buddhism is to remain Buddhism?The
contributions in this volume show not only that Buddhism matters in the West but that it
already has its strong impact on our societies. Therefore  universities in Europe should
include Buddhist theories and techniques in their curricula.
