It provides a comprehensive investigation on how the perceived similarities between Buddhism and Daoism originated and how traditional Daoist terminologies were applied in the translation of Buddhist texts. By doing so, the text critiques the Daoistization of Buddhism and also offers a comparative overview of the general human ways of thinking in India and China by focusing on the relationship between universal ways of understanding the world during the Wei-Jin era. By analyzing commentaries by scholarly Chinese monks in the Wei-Jin era, and the philosophical nature of Neo-Daoism thought that played the most direct role in the Chinese transformation of Buddhism, this book is an attempt to understand why discourses on topics such as imperishability of the spirit became main discussion topics in early Chinese Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn-sub Hur was professor of philosophy at a number of prestigious institutions throughout his career, mainly at Duksung Women's University, but also including Yonsei University, Kyonghee University, Jingak University, and Episcopalian University.\u003cbr\u003eRon Dziwenka is adjunct faculty member in the History Department at Salisbury University.\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Choi is headmaster of Taekwondo at Choi's Martial Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46546155143365,"sku":"9781666944815","price":192.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/CBh1N35G1X9781666944815.webp?v=1784226788","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-history-of-the-formation-of-early-chinese-buddhism-a-study-on-discourse-characteristics-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
