Reseach overview

My research theme is to clarify the historical phase of religiosity and spirituality in the modern world from a macro viewpoint, and to construct general theory of meditation from a micro viewpoint. Concretely, my speciality is comparative research on meditation theories including zen, the ki-energy practice of taoism, vipassana meditation (mindfulness), yoga, and spiritual exercise. I have conducted fieldwork in Japan, Korea, and in Europe, focusing on France and Overseas France. Constructing a meditation theory, I also study inter-religious dialogue and contemporary religious culture.
