- Description 詳情
While Gong Zizhen (1792-1841) has been acclaimed as a patriotic poet and a prophet of revolutions and modernity in China, his Buddhist thoughts and practices have often been either overlooked or misunderstood. Why did Gong profess his devotion to Tiantai Buddhism in particular, and yet why did he choose to criticize the Lotus Sutra, the most sacred scripture for Tiantai? This research investigates Gong's unique Buddhism in relation to modern religiosity and modern Buddhist Studies.
