The Lotus and the Lion: Buddhism and
the British Empire by Jeffrey Frankli
English | 2008 | ISBN-10: 0801447305 | PDF | 288 pages | 1 MB

Buddhism is indisputably gaining prominence in the West, as is evidenced by the growth of Buddhist practice within
many traditions and keen interest in meditation and mindfulness.

In The Lotus and the Lion, J. Jeffrey
Franklin traces the historical and cultural origins of Western Buddhism, showing that the British Empire was a primary
engine for curiosity about and then engagement with the Buddhisms that the British encountered in India and elsewhere in
Asia. As a result, Victorian and Edwardian England witnessed the emergence of comparative religious scholarship with a
focus on Buddhism, the appearance of Buddhist characters and concepts in literary works, the publication of hundreds of
articles on Buddhism in popular and intellectual periodicals, and the dawning of syncretic religions that incorporated
elements derived from Buddhism.

In this fascinating book, Franklin analyzes responses to and constructions of
Buddhism by popular novelists and poets, early scholars of religion, inventors of new religions, social theorists and
philosophers, and a host of social and religious commentators. Examining the work of figures ranging from Rudyard
Kipling and D. H. Lawrence to H. P. Blavatsky, Thomas Henry Huxley, and F. Max M?ller, Franklin provides insight into
cultural upheavals that continue to reverberate into our own time. Those include the violent intermixing of cultures
brought about by imperialism and colonial occupation, the trauma and self-reflection that occur when a Christian culture
comes face-to-face with another religion, and the debate between spiritualism and materialism. The Lotus and the Lion
demonstrates that the nineteenth-century encounter with Buddhism subtly but profoundly changed Western civilization
forever.
