- Title
MUERTE Y BUDISMO EN ESPAÑA: ORÍGENES Y PUESTA EN MARCHA DEL PROTOCOLO FUNERARIO BUDISTA.
- Authors
de Villa De las Heras, Pablo Martínez
- Abstract
The need to manage the death from Buddhist canons by some schools active in the country, has caused that the Federation of Spanish Buddhist Communities (FCBE) launch --with help from the impulse and sponsorship of the Ministry of Justice-- a funeral protocol thanks to a strong cooperation between a private funeral company and Buddhism, fact that implies the public recognition of religious practices that are considered very different from the habitual ones in the Spanish society. Through a double methodology (bibliographic and qualitative field work), it is intended to show how the creation of the Buddhist funeral protocol has been elaborated, negotiated, and managed thanks to the work of the FCBE, a protocol considered a pioneer at European level due to its guidelines and features. An approach will be made to the problems that the protocol is currently facing; the preambles of its creation; some examples of death management from Buddhist canons in Spain and in other countries; and how the FCBE has been consolidated, implanted, and made visible in a country where there are other types of funeral procedures that may well relate to this protocol.
