{"product_id":"the-revival-of-buddhist-monasticism-huaiyu-chen-9780820486246","title":"The Revival of Buddhist Monasticism in Medieval China","description":"This is the first book in any language offering a comprehensive study that places Daoxuan (596-667), one of the most important scholarly monks, in the context of medieval Chinese Buddhist history. In presenting a fresh image of medieval monastic life of Chinese Buddhism, it focuses on several key issues in Daoxuan's work, including the veneration of Buddha's relics, the re-creation of the ordination platform and ordination ritual, and how the Buddhist community reclassified and dealt with monastic property. It is indispensable for all those who are interested in the religions and history of medieval China and comparative monasticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Huaiyu Chen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820486248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820486246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 21","brand":"Huaiyu Chen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526209720575,"sku":"9780820486246","price":106.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_294a95bf-7d16-4e31-8556-2e6900782a46.jpg?v=1737555508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-revival-of-buddhist-monasticism-huaiyu-chen-9780820486246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
