Description

Explore the complex world of religious discourse in late sixteenth-century China with this scholarly work from Brill. This book provides a detailed analysis of epistolary writing to reconstruct the spiritual lives and intellectual debates of a specific network of lay disciples. Readers can examine the core tensions of the era, including the debates between Chan and Pure Land practices, the nature of sudden versus gradual enlightenment, and the application of Buddhist precepts and animal welfare. The text brings historical figures to life, specifically highlighting the contrast between the monk Zhuhong (1535-1615) and his Confucian counterpart, Zhou Rudeng (1547-1629). By focusing on these personal letter connections, the work offers a new perspective on the relationship between Buddhist and Confucian thought. It is an essential resource for historians of Asia and scholars interested in the intellectual history of China.
