The
Middle Kingdom and the Dharma Wheel
Aspects of the Relationship between the Buddhist Saṃgha and the State in Chinese
History
Edited by Thomas
Jülch, Ghent University
The matter of saṃgha-state relations is of central
importance to both the political and the religious history of China. The
volume The Middle Kingdom and the Dharma Wheel brings
together, for the first time, articles relating to this field covering a time
span from the early Tang until the Qing dynasty. In order to portray also the
remarkable thematic diversity of the field, each of the articles not only
refers to a different time but also discusses a different aspect of the
subject.
Contributors include: Chris Atwood, Chen Jinhua, Max Deeg, Barend ter Haar, Thomas Jülch, Albert Welter and Zhang Dewei.
