Book synopsis

Recently American converts to Buddhism are combining§Buddhism and environmentalism in order to create a§new belief and identity. This book examines how§Buddhist environmentalism is being constructed by§exploring how people come to identify with and§believe in Buddhism and environmentalism. In a§society that allows one to freely choose beliefs and§views of spirituality, how people respond to the§environmental crisis has bearings on how religion is§practiced and lived on a daily basis. The manner in§which people choose to identify as Buddhist and§environmentalist reveals how Buddhism and§environmentalism are practiced and sheds light on how§new religions are taking shape in modern America as§people react to the issues of the modern day. By§analyzing how Buddhism and environmentalism can shape§each other and the people who believe in them, this§book will appeal to academics and practitioners alike.
