Abstract
Abstract In this chapter, “Buddhist Practice in East Asia,” Paula Arai offers an overview of indigenous impulses in China and Japan that fueled the transformation of Buddhist teachings and practices in these cultures. Tailoring the aesthetics, values, and social dynamics to suit the people are integral and critical features of transformation. Later in the chapter, Eun-su Cho provides a historical overview of Korean Buddhist developments. Discussion extends into the purification movement after the colonial period and into contemporary developments, including introducing popular music, publications, and internet sites aimed at reaching a general public that is increasingly focused on a global context.
