About This Item
New York.: Weatherhill.. 1997.. Maps, x + 205pp, appendices, index, paperback. Picking up where his earlier volume, The Living Buddha, left off, Daisaku Ikeda spins a lively narrative of the great Buddhist missionaries and translators, the first Chinese Buddhist leaders, the domestication of Buddhism and development of distinctly Chinese schools of Buddhism - with special emphasis on the eventual decline of the religion after harsh persecution in the tenth century. An illuminating and well-told account of one of the most interesting chapters of world religious history, The Flower of Chinese Buddhism is a valuable contribution to the field and a useful tool for both scholars and students.
