Buddhismus im Diskurs
Studien zu Resonanz und Dialogizitat in christlich-buddhistischen Begegnungen
by Stefan S. Jager
German description: Buddhismus ist heute in vielfaltigen Formen auch in westlichen Gesellschaften angekommen und wird haufig mit meditativen Techniken, Achtsamkeit, psychologischer Hilfe oder mystischem Erleben assoziiert. Wie aber kam es zur Ausbildung dieses Phanomens? Wie entwickelten sich entsprechende Diskurse uber Buddhismus als Religion, Mystik, Psychologie, Lebenshilfe und Therapie? Wie genau sahen die christlich-buddhistischen Ubersetzungs- und Rezeptionsprozesse aus? Die vorliegende Studie geht anhand detaillierter Analysen diesen Fragen in historischer, religionswissenschaftlicher sowie interkulturell-theologischer Perspektive nach. Hierbei geht es um ein vertieftes Verstehen als Grundlage fur konstruktive Begegnung und Kommunikation im Feld interreligioser Beziehungen und Spiritualitat. English summary: Buddhism has arrived in western societies in manifold ways and its forms are often associated with meditative techniques, mindfulness, psychological help or mystical experiences. How did this phenomenon come about? How did corresponding discourses on Buddhism as religion, mysticism, psychology, life support and therapy develop? What exactly did Christian-Buddhist translation and reception processes look like? The present study uses detailed analyses to investigate these questions from a historical, religious studies and intercultural theological perspective. This is about a deeper understanding as a basis for constructive encounters and communication in the field of interreligious relations and spirituality.
