Description: Buddhism has become a major religion in Canada over the last half - century. The 'ethnic Buddhism associated with immigrant Asian people is the most important aspect but there is also a growing constituency of Euro - Canadian Buddhists seriously interested in the faith. This insightful study analyzes the phenomenon of Buddhism in Canada from a regional perspective. The work provides an important examination of the place of Buddhism in a developed western country associated with a traditional Judeo - Christian culture but undergoing profound sociological transformation due to large - scale immigration and religio - cultural pluralism. It is a valuable text for students of religion Buddhism and North American Studies.
