Religion as Revolution in Chinese Historiography: Hu Shih (1891-1962) on Shen-hui (684-758)
Même s'il a rarement été reconnu en tant que tel, Hu Shih (1891- 1962) a apporté une importante contribution aux études sur le bouddhisme chan en Chine. Son intérêt portait sur le moine Shenhui (684 - 758) dont il avait découvert les écrits parmi les collections de manuscrits de Dunhuang conservés à Paris et à Londres. Outre ses recherches sur la biographie et la pensée de Shenhui, Hu présenta une interprétation du rôle historique de ce moine nov…
The Antecedents Of Encounter Dialogue In Chinese Ch’An Buddhism
Why are descriptions of Ch’an practice, both medieval and modern, so dominated by dialogues, narratives, and orality? Where other schools of Buddhism may be described in terms of relatively succinct lists of doctrines and practices-four of this, eight of that, a dash of ritual, a measure of selfcultivation-it seems that the only way to describe Ch’an is by a succession of narratives: to explain the Ch’an emphasis on understanding the mind, tell t…

Buddhism
In comparison with other forms of Chinese religions, the study of Chinese Buddhism benefits from several factors. First, the international range of Buddhism allows for fruitful comparison with developments in other neighboring cultures such as India and Japan, and the contemporary identity of Buddhism as a missionary-or at least adoptable-religion provides a continuing audience and community of scholars. Second, the maturity of Buddhist studies a…

Oriental Verities on the American Frontier: The 1893 World's Parliament of Religions and the Thought of Masao Abe
Even a casual perusal of the past numbers of Buddhist-Christian Studies can hardly fail to impress one with the air of mutual respect, of deeply felt spiritual and intellectual camaraderie, that imbues the recent efforts at Buddhist-Christian dialogue. Here, surely, is religious and academic communication at its very best: revelations of profound concerns shared across deep cultural divides, the meeting of hearts and minds in the joint quest for …
