Chapter eight studies the concepts of Buddhist morality that undergird the “engaged Buddhist” aspirations of FPMT, and its MPI offshoot. The chapter places “engaged Buddhism” in contrast with the top-down development practices that were at work in Kushinagar and embedded in the MPI plans. Using the concept of “develop-mentality,” the chapter looks at how the concept of modernization, economic development and progress are deployed and interpreted by various stake-holders in the conflict.
