This roundtable discussion invites scholars in Buddhist Studies to explore areas of rapid transformation as Buddhism intersects with newly emerging practices and phenomena, such as online religion and developments in contemporary science. These and similar developments challenge the traditional norms of Buddhism long dominated by institutional, textual, and ritual frameworks and transcend conventional boundaries. Such interdisciplinary engagements create new opportunities for Buddhism to directly impact modern scientific and secular practices. We will examine the evolving frontiers of Buddhism, both by challenging established norms and by opening new doors for innovation and collaboration in a global context.
