Dear List Members,
I bring to the list's attention a just-released "virtual issue" of
Blackwell Publishing's Religion Compass that assembles all Buddhist
Studies articles published in this on-line journal in its first year-
plus. Religion Compass publishes "state-of-the-art surveys of current
research" aimed at a non-specialist audience. In building the
Buddhist Studies corner of the journal, we hope to provide scholars
and students advanced introductions and useful bibliographies on a
range of topics, from the introductory to the major controversies in
the field.
While Religion Compass is a subscription service, the Buddhism
virtual issue is free and can be accessed at
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/reco/2/v4
Below is the table of contents for the issue:
Toward a "Wider and Juster Initiative": Recent Comparative Work in
Buddhist Ethics
Maria Heim
Buddhism and Caste in India and Sri Lanka
Jeffrey Samuels
Yogacara Strategies against Realism: Appearances (akrti) and
Metaphors (upacara)
Jonathan C. Gold
The Dalai Lamas and State Power
Derek F. Maher
Two Buddha Relic Traditions
John S. Strong
Buddhism, Politics, and Nationalism in the Twentieth and Twenty-first
Centuries
Thomas Borchert
The Cakrasamvara Tantra: Its History, Interpretation, and Practice in
India and Tibet
David B. Gray
The Paradox of Evil in Tiantai Buddhist Philosophy
Jee Loo Liu

With this free issue, Blackwell (of course) hopes to drum up more
library subscriptions. We hope to raise awareness of the journal's
utility in teaching and research and as a publishing venue. We
welcome all comments and suggestions for future article topics, as
well as proposals for articles.
Sincerely,
Justin McDaniel (justin.mcdaniel@ucr.edu)
