Religion and economics are both part of the sensual and rational activities of human historical phenomena in the secular world, and naturally, they intersect and continue to interact with each other. The economics of Buddhism is a fairly new, cross-cutting field of study and is receiving increasing attention from academics across the globe. Throughout history, monasteries and monastic orders have been an important economic agent for their communities, societies, and countries. Through both compassionate and merit-based fundraising and business ventures, Buddhism has been able to reach out to all sectors of society, and this has laid the foundation for its sustainability.

 

Buddhist economics is also a frontier in Buddhist studies because it often involves the collection of inscriptions on stelae, the Dunhuang and Turfan manuscripts, and so on, in addition to the regular transmitted literature, which makes it very challenging. In order to improve the exchange and communication between scholars from various countries who are focused on the field of Buddhist economics, we convened the international conference on ‘Buddhism and Business, Markets and Merit: The Interaction between Buddhism and Economics in Ancient and Modern Times’ from June 16 to 18, 2017.

 

This volume contains twelve papers, mainly Chinese ones presented at the conference, and Chinese translations of some English articles.
