595/=KARMA & REBIRTH (BY RONALD W. NEUFELDT)
Other Religion Books
Introduction:- The papers in this volume were initially presented at a scholarly conference held at the University of Calgary on September 20-23, 1982. As the papers themselves demonstrate, there was throughout a keen awareness of the existence & importance of the ongoing project on karma & rebirth to be published by the University of California Press in four volumes. The numerous references to the first volume, Karma & Rebirth In Classical Indian Traditions, edited by Wendy Doniger O’Flaherty, underline the significance of this project. Like & the O’Flaherty volume, the papers in this volume are intended to be representative only, rather than exhaustive. Indeed, it would seem arrogant to suppose that one could ever treat such a vast subject exhaustively in a single volume. Also like the O’Flaherty volume, the papers are intended to be both descriptive & analytical. Of particular importance is the descriptive element. Karma & Rebirth as important religious concepts are, like religious traditions, changing & fluid concepts. It may be, as Professor Potter argues, that there is an identifiable & constant core of ideas associated with karma & rebirth from the classical period of Indian history to the present. At the same time, however, there is change & adaptation as these concepts move into the modern period & into countries other than India. Just as it is important to trace & understand changes & adaptations in religious traditions as such, so it is important to trace & to understand the changes & adaptations which have taken place in the understanding of the concepts of karma & rebirth. For the most part, the papers are intended to be descriptive of the understanding of karma & rebirth. In this respect, each section contains papers surveying major streams of thought & papers dealing with specific movements & figures. The three papers offered as critiques are intended as an analysis of the papers in the light of classical perceptions of karma & rebirth. In one important respect this volume differs from the University of California Press multi-volume series on karma & rebirth. This volume seeks to move beyond the Indian subcontinent, to look at the understanding of karma & rebirth not only in modern Indian, but also in Sri Lanka & Southeast Asia, Tibet, China, Japan, & finally the western world. This broader treatment is an attempt to underscore the fact that the subject of karma & rebirth has become more than simply an Indian, or even an Eastern subject. Indeed, karma & rebirth have become part of the religious history & therefore, the cultural fabric of the western world.
