It stands in the Chinese tradition of Mahayana Buddhism and more specifically is a form of Buddhism which in English is usually referred to as "Humanistic Buddhism" or as "engaged Buddhism". As the sub-title of this book indicates, in order to make Buddhism widely attractive and relevant he has incorporated every influence available. Gifted with a benign personality, he has turned his seemingly boundless energy and prodigious versatility to creating an institution which presents Buddhism as potentially a source for benefitting society through making life enjoyable. This book hopes to convey the movement's ethos primarily by focusing on his views and activities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Buddhism $z China $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Buddhism $z China $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Mahayana Buddhism $z China. 650 6 $a Bouddhisme $z Chine $x Histoire $y 20e siecle. 650 6 $a Bouddhisme $z Chine $x Histoire $y 21e siecle. 650 6 $a Bouddhisme Mahayana $z Chine. 650 7 $a Buddhism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840028 650 7 $a Mahayana Buddhism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01005972 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Gombrich, Richard F. $q (Richard Francis), $d 1937- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Yao, Yu-Shuang. $t Chinese Buddhism today $d Bristol : Equinox Publishing Ltd, 2022 $z 9781800502338 $w (DLC) 2022002512 830 0 $a Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies monographs. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014412.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9D9696496FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
