Phyllis Granoff translates and discusses biographies and auto-biographies of two Jain monks who lived in the 11th and 14th centure C.E. Dr. Koichi Shinohara tells us how a community of Chinese Buddhists viewed the life of the founder of their group, and how his biography reflected the changes that the community underwent. The essays are a result of a joint research project on religious biographies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mosaic Press (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086454481047,"sku":"9780889625440","price":823.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780889625440.webp?v=1767639148","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/speaking-of-monks-religious-biography-in-india-and-china-9780889625440","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
