Description

Explore the deep connections between Chan and Zen traditions and their broader cultural environments in this scholarly volume from Routledge. This book provides a fresh look at aspects of East Asian Buddhism that have often been overlooked in previous studies. By examining the ritual and cultural settings of these traditions, the collection challenges the idea that Chan is a purely anti-ritualistic practice. The essays examine how these traditions were influenced by larger trends in East Asian Buddhism. Readers will learn about the significance of the cults of icons, relics, and the monastic robe. This work deconstructs the common rhetoric of immediacy used to describe Chan/Zen, offering a more nuanced perspective on how ritual shapes the identity of these schools. It is an essential resource for students and scholars looking to understand the historical and religious context of Chan Buddhism beyond its perceived uniqueness.
