This book looks at the diverse models of healing that interplay with culture and religion in Asia. Cutting across several Asian regions from Hong Kong to mainland China, Tibet, India, and Japan, it addresses healing from a broader perspective and reflects a fresh new outlook on the complexities of Asian societies and their approach to health. Drawing on original fieldwork, contributors present their latest research on diverse local models of healing that occur when disease and religion meet in South and East Asian cultures. It challenges the reader to rethink predominantly long-held Western interpretations of disease management and religion.
