The growing pluralization of religion and culture in Europe means that we encounter an increasing number of Buddhist immigrants as well as ‘Western’ converts. Against this background, in June 2018, the Academy of World Religions and the Numata Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of Hamburg (Germany), invited scholars of Theravāda, East Asian and Tibetan Buddhism. The questions discussed referred to: - Does Buddhism matter today? What can it contribute? - Must Buddhism adapt to the modern world? How can Buddhism adapt to a non-Asia context? - When Buddhism travels, what must be preserved if Buddhism is to remain Buddhism? The contributions in this volume show not only that Buddhism matters in the West but that it already has its strong impact on our societies. Therefore, universities in Europe should include Buddhist theories and techniques in their curricula.

Die Bibel gilt zu Recht als universales Buch. Tag für Tag wird sie rund um den Globus gelesen, meditiert, diskutiert, künstlerisch interpretiert. Wie werden biblische Texte anderswo auf der Welt verstanden? Christian Weber bietet in seiner Einführung sechs verschiedene Zugänge an. Allen liegt ein kontextbezogenes Verständnis der Bibel zugrunde. Das Praxisbuch öffnet so den Horizont für das eigene Verstehen der Bibel und zeigt die Bibel als Brücke in der interkulturellen Verständigung. Faszinierend sind die Interpretationen zu 70 Kunstwerken aus aller Welt zu ausgewählten biblischen Geschichten. Das Buch bietet Anregungen für eine persönliche Entdeckungsreise in kontextbezogener Bibelauslegung. Zugleich ist es ein Praxisbuch für Gesprächsgruppen und die Gemeinde mit vielfältigen Anwendungsideen für den Einsatz in Gottesdiensten, in der Konfirmationsarbeit und bei interreligiösen Begegnungen.
Following the Fukushima nuclear accident, a large volume of monitoring data has been collected about the soil, air, dust, and seawater, along with data about an immense number of foods supplied to the market. Little is known, however, about the effect of radioactive fallout on agriculture, information about which is vital. Although more than 80% of the damaged area is related to agriculture, in situ information specifically for agriculture is scarce. This book provides data about the actual movement and accumulation of radioactivity in the ecological system—for example, whether debris deposited on mountains can be a cause of secondary contamination, under what conditions plants accumulate ...
