Description

Explore the complex relationship between Western travelers and Tibetan exiles in this anthropological study. Buddhism Observed examines how identity is shaped through the lens of religious and cultural encounters in Bodhanath, located on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal. This book investigates what it means to be identified as Buddhist from both Western and Tibetan perspectives. By analyzing the discussions around political, cultural, and religious identity, the text offers a deep look into the social dynamics of the region. Based on extensive field research in Nepal, the study provides a unique perspective on the encounter between different groups. Readers will gain insight into the phenomenon of Western conversions and how these interactions challenge traditional assumptions about Buddhism. This work is a significant resource for those interested in the Anthropology of Asia and the evolving nature of religious identity in a globalized world.
