Summary
Details

Our immense pleasure is to present to you this remarkable conference book - Buddhism: A Historical and Practical Vision. Inside these pages lies a stunning tapestry of wisdom created by the joint dedication and hard work of young Vietnamese Buddhist monks and nuns scholars who have explored the legacy of Buddhism in depth. From exploring the compatibility and integration of Mahāyāna Buddhism's teachings with realistic political theory on leadership and the introduction Buddhist philosophy and the establishment and significance of Buddhist universities in the United States, each paper stands as a testament to the vibrant diversity and enduring relevance of Buddhist thought. Among the thought-provoking papers, you will discover insightful investigations into the practical theory of impermanence as a means to enhance one's own living experience. Additionally, a critical interpretation of Nibbāna from Dr. Ambedkar's perspective in the Indian Engaged Buddhist Movement sheds light on Buddhist philosophy's profound social and transformative dimensions. The geographical maps of Mahāyāna Sūtras in India offer captivating insights into Buddhist scriptures' historical and spatial dimensions, providing a deeper appreciation of the interplay between geography and spiritual teachings.

Furthermore, the papers on Gandhara Buddhism unveil the artistic expressions and cultural significance of this ancient tradition while exploring its links to the rise of North Buddhism. The conference book also delves into the embodiment of the Bodhisattva ideal in various aspects of life, from personal growth and transformation to the engaged spirit of the Bodhisattva in contemporary society. Papers exploring the Buddhist revival movement in India, including the contributions of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and Alexander Cunningham, shed light on the efforts to rejuvenate Buddhism in its birthplace. As we navigate the intellectual landscapes presented within these pages, we encounter profound insights into the teachings of the Buddha, including the importance of generating bodhicitta on the path of the Bodhisattva and the Buddha's teachings on gratitude to one's parents. The significance of skillful means in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) and the role of ancient Mahāyāna Buddhist monuments in Andhra Pradesh are also explored deeply.

In-depth contributions to historical narratives, geographical discoveries, and revivalist movements have shaped Buddhism in India, both past and present. This serves as a testament to Buddhism's enduring vibrant dynamism, with papers woven into its rich tapestry.

May these pages hold insights and revelations that lead us to a more compassionate, interconnected, and insightful world.
