Article by Sandra Bell.
The vitality that is inherent in systems dependent on charismatic authority have enabled the British Sangha to maintain a creative balance between new developments and the maintenance of orthopraxy. There appears to be a synthesis of charismatic and legal authority that, in the transitional stage between one cultural setting and another, equips the British Sangha with the potential for resilience and continuity without seriously impeding its ability to adjust to new conditions.

Buddhist Academic Discussion Forum.

The study aims to examine two issues: first the formation, development, and social impact of Buddhadasa's movement; and second the implications of modernization in Thai society. These two issues will be treated as closely interrelated. The main questions are the following:
(1)Why and under what conditions did Buddhadasa's movement come about?
(2)What type of movement is it?
(3)How did the movement develop and what were the factors which promoted and inhibited its development?
(4)What is its function for the members, and why does it appear to be most meaningful for the intellectuals?
(5)What is the social impact of the movement?
The particular hypothesis of this study is that Buddhadasa's movement has had and will continue to have a significant social impact on Thai society.

Book by T. W. Rhys Davids.

A good German site for (mostly) Theravadin resources. The focus is scholarly rather than practical, but the authors whose essays and lectures are published there are among the most respected of German buddhologists.

The book by T.W. Rhys-Davids.

"In the following work a first attempt has been made to describe ancient India, during the period of Buddhist ascendancy, from the point of view, not so much of the brahmin, as of the rajput."

The Buddhist Scholars Information Network (H-Buddhism) serves as a medium for the exchange of information regarding academic resources, new research projects, scholarly publications, university job listings, and so forth, for specialists in Buddhist Studies who are currently affiliated with academic institutions. It is not a list intended for general discussions of issues regarding Buddhism as a religion, philosophy, practice, or lifestyle (there is a wide variety of lists on the Internet that already serve this purpose), nor a list where non-specialists may pose queries. People who are not specialists in Buddhist Studies can access messages from H-Buddhism through this web site, but they can neither subscribe nor post their own messages.

The Japanese version of this book, Indo Bukkyōshi, volume 1, was published by Shunjūsha of Tokyo in 1974; volume 2, not included here, was published in 1979. When Hirakawa began work on it, he intended to write a handbook for students interested in the development of Buddhism across Asia that would serve as a useful guide to the basic issues in Buddhist doctrine, history, and bibliography. Although the project soon became much longer and had a narrower focus than he had originally planned, it benefited in at least two ways from Hirakawa's original intention. First, it is an exceptionally comprehensive discussion of Indian Buddhism, treating its history, doctrine, and bibliography with an admirable degree of completeness. Most of the significant topics in Indian Buddhism are discussed in some detail. Second, it is a very clearly written text. Because Hirakawa wrote it with students as the intended audience, he composed it in a style that could be readily understood by students and informed general readers.

Article by Gil Fronsdal.
Among the various and varied Buddhist meditative disciplines taught in the United States. Insight Meditation, or vipassana, has been, since the early 1980s, one of the fastest growing in popularity. To a great extent this can be attributed to the practice being offered independent of much of its traditional Theravada Buddhist religious context. This autonomy has allowed the American vipassana teachers and students to adapt and present the meditation practice in forms and language that are much more thoroughly Westernized than most other forms of Buddhism in America. As the number of people participating in the mindfulness practices of Insight Meditation has increased, a loose-knit lay Buddhist movement, uniquely Western, that is sometimes known as the "vipassana movement," has evolved.

The International Association of Buddhist Studies (IABS) is a learned society dedicated to promoting and suppporting scholarship in Buddhist Studies in a spirit of non-sectarian tolerance and with scientific research and communication as preeminent objectives.

An article by David McMahan.
The doctrinal differences between the sutras of the Pali canon and the Mahayana sutras composed in South Asia have been widely commented on and debated by scholars, but seldom has attention been given to what the strikingly contrasting literary styles of the Pali and Mahayana sutras themselves might reveal about Buddhism in South Asia.

Article by Sandra Bell. An anthropological study of the development of Theravada monasticism in Britain, and in particular the role of the monastery as a centre for the transmission of Theravada Buddhism to a Western context. It develops the idea that the stylised and ritual character of life at the British monastery is the chief means by which ideological content is shaped, transmitted and absorbed.
