Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of Chinese Buddhism through the lens of Chinese texts, with an additional account of Nirvana in Chinese Buddhist literature. Drawing parallels between Chinese Buddhism and Southern Buddhism, the author argues that the popular view of Chinese Buddhists coincides with the general view of Southern, rather than Northern, Buddhists. Chinese texts consistently define Nirvana as an absolute exemption from the circles of metempsychosis, a state of the highest and purest moral liberty and bliss. They do not deny the immortality of the spirit, rather, they consider Nirvana to be a state of conscious individual liberty and bliss. The author suggests that, for Chinese Buddhists, Nirvana can be attained here on earth, through the practice of morality and meditation. This book provides a valuable contribution to the study of Chinese Buddhism, offering a comprehensive analysis of the concept of Nirvana in Chinese Buddhist literature. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Buddhism, Chinese religion, and Asian studies.
