A Chinese American Buddhist Healer

In this episode, I sit down with Kin Cheung, a scholar of contemporary Buddhism at Moravian University. We talk about his research on a Chinese American community healer who happens to be his father. We discuss how his father’s practice raises challenging questions for scholars, and reveals gaping holes in current academic approaches to Buddhism. Along the way, we talk about how code-switching between different ontologies is a feature of life for Asian Americans, and hear Kin’s father conduct a blessing ritual.Enjoy, and please subscribe so that you do not miss any episodes in the future!Resources Mentioned in this Episode: First installment of Pierce’s blog series on Meta Approaches to Asian Medicine (http://www.piercesalguero.com/a-metam...)
