NEW BOOK> Reinventing the Tripitaka: Transformation of the Buddhist Canon in Modern East Asia, ed. by Jiang Wu and Greg Wilkinson
by Charles Muller
Reinventing the Tripitaka: Transformation of the Buddhist Canon in Modern
East AsiaEdited by Jiang Wu and Greg Wilkinson - Contributions by Guangchang Fang; J. Frederick; Tomoo Kida; Richard D. McBride II; Charles Muller; Kiyonori Nagasaki; Gregory Adam Scott; Masahiro Shimoda; Greg Wilkinson; Christian Wittern and Jiang Wu
The Chinese Buddhist canon is a systematic collection of all translated Buddhist scriptures and related literatures created in East Asia and has been regarded as one of the “three treasures” in Buddhist communities. Despite its undisputed importance in the history of Buddhism, research on this huge collection has remained largely the province of Buddhologists focusing on textual and bibliographical studies. We thus aim to initiate methodological innovations to study the transformation of the canon by situating it in its modern context, characterized by intricate interactions between East and West as well as among countries in East Asia.
