Jens Reinke's doctoral dissertation presents a multi-sited ethnography of the global spread of the modernist Buddhist order Fo Guang Shan, supported by the Leipzig University Collaborative Research Centre (SFB 1199) on “Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition.” In the view of fieldwork data collected in Germany, Taiwan, South Africa, the USA, and the PRC, the dissertation explores the transnational border-crossings and linkages that facilitated the emergence of renjian Buddhism and continue to shape Fo Guang Shan’s global development to this day. His research is situated at the crossroads of three academic discussions: First, by placing Fo Guang Shan’s global trajectory in the context of transnationalism and ethnic Chinese migration, it provides a fresh angle to the study of Chinese religions. Second, by examining how one particular modern Buddhist religiosity that developed in a specific place moves into a global context, it contributes to ongoing debates of what constitutes modern and contemporary Buddhism. Finally, as a multi-sited field study on a religious globalization project that has originated from Taiwan, this book explores the social, cultural, and religious fabrics that underlie the spatial configurations of globalization. Jens Reinke's dissertation-turned-book, Mapping Modern Mahayana: Chinese Buddhism and Migration in the Age of Global Modernity is published by De Gruyter.
