CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
This volume primarily focuses on various aspects of Buddhism in China and beyond. Each of the fourteen papers covers a particular aspect of the history of Chinese Buddhism through which an attempt has been made to show that China played an important role not only in the growth and development of Mahayana Buddhism but also in the Sinicization of the Buddha Dharma. Further, China's role in transmitting Buddhist tenets eastward into Korea and Japan has also been highlighted.
