This book developed out of a conference entitled Buddhism and the Body: Somaesthetic Explorations that was held by the Asian Studies Program and the Center for Body, Mind, and Culture at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in February of 2020. The conference was generously funded by the Schmidt Foundation and the Levenson Chair at FAU. Thanks are due to the series editor Richard Shusterman, Associate Editor Philosophy Helena Schöb, and to the comments of anonymous reviewers.
