The Figures section includes nine essays, beginning with the great Later Qin dynasty translator and eminent monk Kumārajīva and concluding with the modern monk Taixu, who dedicated himself to the modernization of Buddhism. In between, the section covers the Sixth Patriarch of Chan Buddhism, Huineng, of the Tang dynasty; the Song dynasty monks Qisong and Mian Xianjie; and the Yuan dynasty statesman Liu Bingzhong. The section also extends beyond the Buddhist monastic community to include the interactions between Buddhism and scholar-officials and intellectuals outside the tradition. Through these key figures, the book roughly outlines the path of \"Sinification\" that Buddhism underwent after its eastward transmission to China. 《中国艺术研究院学术文库：化城集（佛教义理与佛教人物研究）》分\"义理\"和\"人物\"两大部分进行论述。义理篇包含六篇，均围绕佛教教义的核心--慈悲而敷演；人物篇文章共九篇，始于南北朝后秦时期之佛经翻译家、高僧鸠摩罗什，终于晚近致力佛教现代化的高僧释太虚，中间涵纳唐朝的禅宗六祖慧能、北宋的释契嵩和密庵咸杰、元朝的刘秉忠，并兼顾佛教以外的士大夫和学问家与佛门之互动。以人物为节点，大致勾勒出佛教东传后历经的\"中国化\"道路。\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"China National Publications Import \u0026 Export C","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890546917527,"sku":"9787807692034","price":2749.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9787807692034.webp?v=1781180459","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-illusory-city-collection-studies-on-buddhist-doctrines-and-figures-21270-22478-38598-20315-25945-20041-29702-19982-20315-25-9787807692034","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
