Chinese Buddhism: A Volume of Sketches, Historical, Descriptive and Critical by Rev. Dr. Joseph Edkins is a comprehensive exploration of the history, beliefs, and practices of Buddhism in China. The book is divided into two parts, the first part providing an overview of the history of Buddhism in China, including its introduction to the country, the development of different schools of Buddhism, and the interaction between Buddhism and other religions in China. The second part of the book delves deeper into specific aspects of Chinese Buddhism, such as its doctrines, rituals, and monastic institutions.Throughout the book, Edkins provides a critical analysis of Chinese Buddhism, examining its strengths and weaknesses, as well as its impact on Chinese society and culture. He also offers insights into the differences between Chinese Buddhism and other forms of Buddhism practiced in other parts of the world.Written in a clear and accessible style, Chinese Buddhism is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Buddhism, as well as the cultural and religious traditions of China.This Was A Ground Breaking Victorian Study Of A Then Little Understood Subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
