The primary purpose of this study was to present a sociological analysis of American Buddhism in northern Utah. Specifically, the analysis covered the acculturation changes of American Buddhism in X __ , Utah, the functions of the acculturation changes, and the effects of secularization on the Buddhists. The findings were as follows: Buddhism in X___ is becoming "American Buddhism" just as Buddhism in Japan became Japanese Buddhism. Buddhism in X___ reinforces the norms and values of the X___ society but also puts a strain on social relationship by contributing to ethnocentrism and racial segregation. The Buddhist Society in X___ has become more secular and, as a consequence of the secularization process, could cease to exist in the future. 1971-05-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/3522 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4526&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
