Da Zang Jing Chinese Version Book 2
This is a story book. The stories in the book came from a library of scriptures recorded by Sangha (monks) named The Chinese Buddhist Canon. The Canon was written in classic Chinese and the depth of its content is not a common literature for most of us to appreciate, that's why I selected and translated some of them, had them abridged and retold the literature in the register of storytelling. This particular compilation, Book II, belongs to Mahayana Buddhism. Its content is far more advanced than that of Book I.
Da Zang Jing 1, English Version
The stories in the books came from a collection of scriptures that had been recorded by Sangha (monks) called The Chinese Buddhist Canon. As the Canon was written in classic Chinese and the depth of its content is not a common literature for people to appreciate, I arranged his teachings in a timeline according to his life sequence in this book. It is my principle that I can only select from the abundance of events without any changes over the original scripts trying not to add my personal views. It is, nonetheless, prone to my personal style of speech in the literature of storytelling. I can only wish readers to use those story to cultivate their minds like vitamins to supplement our health...

The Secrets of Buddhist Meditation
In the early 400s, numerous Indian and Central Asian Buddhist “meditation masters” (chanshi) traveled to China, where they established the first enduring traditions of Buddhist meditation practice in East Asia. The forms of contemplative practice that these missionaries brought with them, and which their Chinese students further developed, remained for several centuries the basic understanding of “meditation” (chan) in China. Although modern scholars and readers have long been familiar with the approaches to meditation of the Chan (Zen) School that later became so popular throughout East Asia, these earlier and in some ways more pervasive forms of practice have long been overlooked o...
Buddhist Historiography in China
Winner, 2023 Toshihide Numata Book Award, Numata Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of California, Berkeley Since the early days of Buddhism in China, monastics and laity alike have expressed a profound concern with the past. In voluminous historical works, they attempted to determine as precisely as possible the dates of events in the Buddha’s life, seeking to iron out discrepancies in varying accounts and pinpoint when he delivered which sermons. Buddhist writers chronicled the history of the Dharma in China as well, compiling biographies of eminent monks and nuns and detailing the rise and decline in the religion’s fortunes under various rulers. They searched for evidence o...
Book Collecting in Chinese Culture
Book collecting is an old tradition in Chinese culture which is experiencing a recent revival. Books are a key to understanding Chinese cultural past and present. It is the author's contention that books are a crystallization of human wisdom, and book collection is a crystallization of culture. People's respect for knowledge and culture all start with books and with book collecting. In the electronic age, this is even more relevant. This book explores all aspects of book collecting in China, including: government book collecting and prohibition * famous book collectors * religious book collecting * college book collecting * business book collecting * book collecting philosophy and its influence on the development of education and commerce.
A Chinese Paradigm of the Jingtu Famen
This vigorously-researched publication for advanced graduate students and fellow scholars of the Chinese Pure Land tradition (Jingtu famen) in the wider context of Chinese Buddhism extends the horizon opened up by recent leading scholars to reconstruct a more insightful understanding of the Jingtu famen and the notion of zong. Focusing on previously unstudied writings of Sheng'an Shixian 省庵實賢 (1686–1734), the findings support the argument that the Jingtu famen is an advanced form of Mahāyānist meditation rooted in the Mādhyamika and Yogācāra traditions. The original English translation of Master Shixian’s writings provided also paves the way for other researchers to conduct new and extended studies.
