Buddhist Historiography in China - The Sheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhist Studies
John Kieschnick
John Kieschnick provides an innovative, expansive account of how Chinese Buddhists have sought to understand their history through a Buddhist lens. Exploring a series of themes in mainstream Buddhist historiographical works from the fifth to the twentieth century, he looks for what they tell us about their compilers’ understanding of history.
