摘要
The concept of the Journal of Dharma Studies arose from the scholarship produced by a learned society, the Dharma Academy of North America (DANAM),Footnote1 which has been meeting annually for over fifteen years in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion (AAR). Over this time, nearly a thousand scholars have participated in or attended the conferences of DANAM and helped foster analytical-constructive and translational research and scholarship on various fields and sub-disciplines. These include philosophy, theologies, ethics, epistemologies, hermeneutics, semiotics, esthetics, asceticism, praxis, metaphysics, musicology, gender, classical literature, and direct responses to critical planetary challenges—all of which comprise the diverse expressions of the Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist religious traditions.
