Buddhism without Borders: Contemporary Developments of Buddhism in the West

at the Institute of Buddhist Studies
Berkeley, California
March 18 - 21, 2010

Keynote Address by Prof. Thomas Tweed
author of The American Encounter with Buddhism and Crossing and Dwelling

How has Buddhism outside Asia been shaped by diaspora and immigration? How has the increase in global tourism, communication, and capitalism affected the way Buddhism is understood, taught, and practiced?

These and other themes will be explored in a four-day conference, Buddhism without Borders: Contemporary Buddhism in the West, hosted by the Institute of Buddhist Studies, in Berkeley, California.
