The Cultural Practices of Modern Chinese Buddhism : Attuning the Dharma EPUB
by Francesca Tarocco
Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series
EPUB
Description
Buddhism in China during the late Qing and Republican period remained a powerful cultural and religious force.
Francesca Tarocco is a rising star in this field and offers an innovative high-quality piece of work that presents a new perspective on the influence of Buddhism on Chinese culture.
Drawing on scarcely analyzed historical and archive sources, including photographs and musical scores, Tarocco adeptly argues that Chinese Buddhism played a more vital role in shaping Chinese culture than previously assumed. This enlightening study fills a significant gap in the field of Chinese Buddhist history.
Focusing on the cultural side of Buddhism, it adds breadth and balance to studies in Buddhism as a whole, appealing to professionals and academics with an interest in Buddhism and Chinese Buddhist history.
