Constituting Communities : Theravāda Buddhism and the Religious Cultures of South and Southeast Asia. John Clifford Holt, Jacob N. Kinnard, & Jonathan S. Walters SUNY Press, Albany, 2003. ![Constituting Communities : Theravāda Buddhism and the Religious Cultures of South and Southeast Asia [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper abstract bibtex Constituting Communities explores how community functions within Theravāda Buddhist culture. Although the dominant focus of Buddhist studies for the past century has been on doctrinal and philosophical issues, this volume concentrates on discourses that produced them, and why and how these discourses and practices shaped Theravāda communities in South and Southeast Asia. From a variety of perspectives, including historical, literary, doctrinal and philosophical, and social and anthropological, the contributors explore the issues that have proven important and definitive for identifying what it has meant, individually and socially, to be Buddhist in this particular region. The book focuses on textual discourse, how communities are formed and maintained within pluralistic contexts, and the formation of community both within and between the monastic and lay settings.
