Chan Before Chan

Meditation, Repentance, and Visionary Experience in Chinese Buddhism

Herausgeber: Buswell, Robert E

Beschreibung

What is Buddhist meditation? What is going on - and what should be going on - behind the closed or lowered eyelids of the Buddha or Buddhist adept seated in meditation? And in what ways and to what ends have the answers to these questions mattered for Buddhists themselves? Focusing on early medieval China, this book takes up these questions.
