Spreading Buddha's Word in East Asia: The Formation and Transformation of the Chinese Buddhist Canon - The Sheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhist Studies
Lucille Chia Jiang Wu
A monumental work in the history of religion, the history of the book, the study of politics, and bibliographical research, this volume follows the making of the Chinese Buddhist canon from the fourth century to the digital era. It ties the religious, social, and textual practices of canon formation to the development of East Asian Buddhist culture and opens up the study of Chinese Buddhist texts to readers interested in the evolution of Chinese writing in general and the Confucian and Daoist traditions in particular.
