Description

A Late Sixteenth-Century Chinese Buddhist Fellowship examines the spiritual and intellectual world of lay Buddhist disciples in late Ming China through their epistolary exchanges. This scholarly work analyses debates over Chan versus Pure Land Buddhism, the nature of enlightenment, Buddhist precepts, and animal welfare within a network centred on the influential monk Zhuhong (1535-1615). By contrasting Zhuhong's teachings with those of his philosophical rival, the Yangming Confucian Zhou Rudeng (1547-1629), the book challenges conventional academic interpretations of Confucian dominance during this period. The detailed examination of letters and correspondence reveals how educated lay practitioners engaged with complex Buddhist philosophy and negotiated their faith alongside competing intellectual traditions. Published by Brill as volume 127 in the Sinica Leidensia series, this work contributes significantly to understanding Chinese Buddhist thought, lay religious practice, and the intersection of Buddhism and Confucianism in the late sixteenth century.
