บทคัดย่อ

Buddhism, a religion that originated in ancient India, has undergone profound transformations as it spread globally, influencing various cultures and societies. This paper explores how Buddhism has evolved in response to globalization, particularly focusing on the ways Buddhist practices have adapted in the modern world. It examines how Buddhist communities around the world have negotiated traditional practices with modern values, scientific understanding, and diverse cultural contexts. The study also investigates the role of globalization in the spread of Buddhist teachings beyond Asia, examining the influence of technology, migration, and the global cultural exchange in shaping contemporary Buddhist practices. The paper argues that Buddhism is not a static tradition but a dynamic religion capable of adapting to the needs and concerns of modern practitioners across the globe.
