Description

Erik J. Hammerstrom recasts the history of twentieth-century Chinese Buddhism by examining how Huayan Buddhism was imagined, taught, and practiced during a period of profound political and social change. He traces the influence of Huayan University, the first Buddhist monastic school founded after the fall of the imperial system in China.
