Download or read book State, Society, and Religious Engineering written by Khun Eng Kuah-Pearce and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2009 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book looks at how religion in Singapore is being subjected to the processes of modernisation and change. The Singapore State has consciously brought religion under its guidance. It has exercised strong bureaucratic and legal control over the functioning of all religions in Singapore. The Chinese community and the Buddhist Sangha have responded to this by restructuring their temple institutions into large multi-functional temple complexes. There has been quite a few books written on the role of the Singapore State but, so far, none has been written on the topic - the relationship between state, society and religion. It will help to fill the missing gap in the scholarly literature on this area. This is also a topic of great significance in many Asian, particularly Southeast Asian, countries and it will serve as an important book for future reference in this area of research and comparative studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Buddhist Sangha begins as an analysis of the ethical aspects of early Pali (Theravada) Buddhism and becomes a proposal that the Buddhist Sangha is a workable paradigm for an ideal society. The Sangha's democratic nature is foregrounded, as well as its emphasis on moral administration and understanding, and its call for harmonious interaction between kings and the general public. In addition, the primary governmental aspects of the Sangha, conflict and its resolution, are discussed in light of Buddhist ethical principles. This book is a comprehensive, philosophical and critical examination of Buddhist ethics and related political principles. Contents: Historical Background; Buddhist Moral Philosophy; The Sangha as an Ideal Society; Secretariat or Supreme Court of the Sangha; The Democratic Nature of the Sangha.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The usual image of the Buddha is of a man seated alone, deep in meditation. So it can be a surprise to find that Buddhism gives great importance to the Sangha, the spiritual community. Some may feel that their guru or teacher is all that they need. To others, the idea of sharing their inner and outer lives, triumphs and disappointments, with others can seem a challenge or even a threat. But the spiritual community is not about unthinking conformity or belonging to a comfortable group. Rather, it is the free association of developing individuals choosing to help each other along the path. To explore the nature of the spiritual community is also to examine what makes us true individuals. This exploration ranges from our relationships with spiritual teachers through our friends, family and fellow workers to the benefits the spiritual community can offer to the wider world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Poised to spark debate among scholars of religious studies and other disciplines, Colors of the Robe sheds new light on the Sri Lankan Buddhist universe of ethics and politics and, more important, suggests innovative directions for the global study of religion, identity, culture, politics, and violence. In a volume that surpasses other studies in tracking, identifying, and locating Sri Lankan Buddhism in its sectarian, ethnic, cultural, social, and political constructions, Ananda Abeysekara lays down a challenge to postcolonial and postmodern theory. He argues that although criticisms have undermined the orientalist constructions of culture, they cannot help us understand, let alone theorize, the emergence of contemporary authoritative discourses that define distinctions involving religion and violence, identity and difference. Supplanting that aim, Abeysekara illuminates the shifting configurations that characterize the relations connected with postcolonial religious identity and culture."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
