  • Description: This chapter examines the Tố Dương’s Field of Extrasensory Perceptions. This VNRM asserts that its ‘new genuine Buddhist doctrine’ is a true replacement of the original Buddhist doctrines. In East and Southeast Asia, there are many Buddhist-based NRMs, exhibiting a diversity of religious creativity in their efforts to reform Buddhism. Here, the group is examined as evidence of a tendency of VNRM formation through a reconfiguration of Buddhism. Attention is paid to how a new religious doctrine has been built based on the combination of established Buddhist doctrine, knowledge that is said to be scientific and philosophical, as well as emphasising ESP practices. The chapter argues that the Field’s ambition to bring about a new form of Buddhism reflects a desire to maintain Buddhism’s significance in a modernising society.
