| Summary: | The centrality of death rituals has rarely been documented in anthropologically informed studies of Buddhism. Bringing together a range of perspectives including ethnographic, textual, historical and theoretically informed accounts, this edited volume presents the diversity of the Buddhist funeral cultures of mainland Southeast Asia and China. While the contributions show that the ideas and ritual practices related to death are continuously transformed in local contexts through political and social changes, they also highlight the continuities of funeral cultures. The studies are based on long-term fieldwork and covering material from Theravāda Buddhism in Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and various regions of Chinese Buddhism, both on the mainland and in the Southeast Asian diasporas. Topics such as bad death, the feeding of ghosts, pollution through death, and the ritual regeneration of life show how Buddhist cultures deal with death as a universal phenomenon of human culture |

Bringing together a range of perspectives including ethnographic, textual, historical and theoretically informed accounts, this edited volume presents the diversity of the Buddhist funeral cultures of mainland Southeast Asia and China. While the contributions show that the ideas and ritual practices related to death are continuously transformed in local contexts through political and social changes, they also highlight the continuities of funeral cultures. The studies are based on long-term fieldwork and covering material from Theravāda Buddhism in Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and various regions of Chinese Buddhism, both on the mainland and in the Southeast Asian diasporas. Topics such as bad death, the feeding of ghosts, pollution through death, and the ritual regeneration of life show how Buddhist cultures deal with death as a universal phenomenon of human culture Buddhist funeral rites and ceremonies / Southeast Asia Buddhist funeral rites and ceremonies / China Buddhismus (DE-588)4008690-2 gnd rswk-swf Bestattungsritus (DE-588)4204578-2 gnd rswk-swf Südostasien China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf Südostasien (DE-588)4058448-3 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Südostasien (DE-588)4058448-3 g China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Buddhismus (DE-588)4008690-2 s Bestattungsritus (DE-588)4204578-2 s DE-604 Williams, Paul 1950- (DE-588)101929874X edt Ladwig, Patrice (DE-588)1166674746 edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-107-00388-0 (DE-604)BV040252886 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-107-66787-7 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511782251 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
