| 抄録 | "Many Petals of the Lotus: Redefinitions of Buddhist Identity in Toronto", is a comparative study of Japanese and Vietnamese Buddhist groups in Toronto. The thesis presents and evaluates the interrelationships among immigrant and refugee resettlement, ethnic identity, and religious belief and practice. Buddhist identities have been redefined through the religious community, vis a vis, innovative services, new beliefs, re-created social affiliations, and transformed authority patterns and gender roles. Buddhist belief and practice plays a dynamic role in the adjustment process of immigrants and refugees. The thesis demonstrates that the re-creation of traditional religious institutions among the Vietnamese not only enables them to cope with survivorship syndrome, but also reinforces ethnic and nationalistic commitments, internationally as well as locally. Over short and long terms, Buddhist identities provide various avenues of integration into Canadian life that has helped the Japanese and Vietnamese adapt to multiculturalism.
This comparative study of the particularized Buddhist beliefs and practices within Japanese and Vietnamese groups also provides insight into how a universal religion binds people together and yet sets them apart. The construction of Buddhist identities is viewed as shifting and complex, reflecting multiple voices asserted within identifiable spheres of power, history and culture. The data collected reveals world views which are rapidly being affected by new environments. Religious belief and practice is seen as fluid and flexible. Innovation, transformation and continuity of tradition are responses to changing local, national and global realities. This thesis contributes specific insights on Buddhist identities in Canada and gives a general understanding of how religious groups provide contexts within which particularistic relationships and identities survive. |
