| Zusammenfassung: | "This vigorously-researched publication for advanced graduate students and fellow scholars of the Chinese Pure Land tradition (Jingtu famen) in the wider context of Chinese Buddhism extends the horizon opened up by recent leading scholars to reconstruct a more insightful understanding of the Jingtu famen and the notion of zong. Focusing on previously unstudied writings of Shixian and other patriarchs, the findings support the argument that the Jingtu famen is an advanced form of Mahāyānist meditation rooted in the Mādhyamika and Yogācāra traditions. The original English translation of Master Shixian's writings provided also paves the way for other researchers to conduct new and extended studies"-- 1. Realigning Jingtu and Zong under the Chinese Paradigm -- 2. Shixian's Life in Context -- 3. Shixian and the Notion of Zong in Chinese Buddhism -- 4. Shixian and the Bodhisattva Ideal in the Jingtu Famen -- 5. Shixian and the Notion of Xin in the Jingtu Famen -- 6. Shixian and Nianfo in the Jingtu Famen as a Mahāyāna Meditation -- 7. Conclusion -- Appendices: Annotated Translations of Selected Chinese Texts -- References -- Index of Chinese Names and Terms -- Index of Names and Terms Other than Chinese. |
