内容説明
Theorizing that Quebec's "Quiet Revolution" of the 1960s and the decline of Catholicism there had a profound effect on the spiritual life of the Quebecois, Daniel examines the thousand-plus conversions to Soka Gakkai (a Japanese strand of Buddhism) which have occured in the 1990s. The central enquiry in the text is why an Asian Buddhist group would attract a "respectable and devoted" following in once-Catholic Quebec while other Buddhist movements have always failed in the province - and the rest of Canada. The author also presents a history of Soka Gakkai movement in both Japan and Canada, as well as testimonies from a number of Quebecois Soka Gakkai leaders and members.
