Discerning Buddhas

Authority, Agency, and Masculinity in Chan Buddhism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Discerning Buddhas argues that Chan Buddhists wove together tropes of sovereignty, hospitality, and martial heroism drawn from both Buddhist tradition and China's cultural heritage to develop a distinctive vision of what it meant for a Chan master to be a buddha in Song-period China.
