Harris -- Thai Buddhists? : Encounters with International Relief Work in Post-Tsunami Thailand / Monica Lindberg Falk -- Buddhism and Relief in Myanmar : Reflections on Relief as a Practice of Da��na / Carine Jaquet, Matthew Walton -- Transnational Networks of Dharma and Development : International Aid by Japanese Buddhists and the Revival of Buddhism in Post-Khmer Rouge Cambodia / Ranjana Mukhopadhyaya -- Implications of International Relief Work and Civil Society for Japanese Buddhists Affiliated with Traditional Denominations / Hiroko Kawanami -- International Relief Work and Spirit Cultivation for Tzu Chi Members / Jung-Chang Wang -- Buddhism and Relief Work in Mainland China and Hong Kong / Sik Faren -- Constructing and Contesting Sacred Spaces : International Buddhist Assistance in Bodhgaya? / Kory Goldberg.

Natural disasters that have struck Asian countries in recent years have brought global attention to the work of local Buddhist communities and international humanitarian groups operating on Buddhist principles. Buddhist monks and nuns, even in the most conservative tradition, have engaged with survivors and families of the deceased in difficult contexts and are making active contribution to the development of civil society. Contributors of this volume have conducted research in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Cambodia and examine both local Buddhist communities and international organizations engaged in a variety of relief work in China, Taiwan and Japan. They explore the variety of ways in which Buddhist traditions and organizations are being reconstructed through local and international aid work in ways more engaged with and more relevant to human problems in the contemporary world.
