BUDDHISTESCAPES:

CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Presented by:

Albert WelterEAST ASIAN STUDIES

The three refuges – the Buddha, the

Dharma (Buddhist teaching), and the

Sangha (Buddhist community) – mark

the pivotal transformation in Buddhism

and official commitment to embarking

on the Buddhist path. But what does this

path entail? How is refuge understood

when you are of the world and seeking

to transcend its limitations at the same

time? While the Buddhist quest has been

accommodated across Asian cultures, it

is also dependent by social and political

realities and the cultural conditions of

where refuge is sought. Explore some

of the ways seeking refuge and finding

refuge has manifested itself in history.
