Title: Romantic dharma
Description: "Romantic Dharma maps the  emergence of Buddhism into European consciousness during the first half of the 19th  century, probes the shared ethical and intellectual commitments embedded in Buddhist and Romantic thought, and proposes potential ways  by which those insights  translate into contemporary critical and pedagogical practices.  This book maps the movement of  European colonial institutions and individuals across the Himalayan regions of India, Nepal and Tibet and the  reverse flow of textual materials to the primary sites for Oriental Studies in India and Europe.  These emergent texts illustrate the  compatible view of the human condition  in both European and Oriental bodies of thought and identifies shared strategies for alleviating the  suffering of all sentient beings.  Romantic Dharma reveals  an "engaged Romanticism" relevant  to scholars and teachers. The text, therefore, has a trajectory that extends from historical encounters through textual intersections to current concerns"--
