What are the foundational scriptures and major schools for Chinese Buddhists? What festivals do they celebrate? What divinities do they worship?
Each chapter ends with discussion questions and suggestions These are some of the basic questions addressed in this book, the first introduction to Chinese Buddhism written expressly for students and those interested in an accessible yet authoritative overview of the subject based on current scholarship.After presenting the basic tenets of the Buddha's teachings and the Chinese religious traditions, the book focuses on topics essential for understanding Chinese Buddhism: major scriptures, worship of buddhas and bodhisattvas, rituals and festivals, the monastic order, Buddhist schools such as Tiantai and Chan, Buddhism and gender, and current trends--notably humanistic Buddhism in Taiwan and the resurgence of Buddhism in post-Mao China.
