The Impact of Buddhism on Chinese Material Culture - Buddhisms: A Princeton University Press Series
John Kieschnick
From the first century, when Buddhism entered China, the foreign religion shaped Chinese philosophy, beliefs, and ritual. This study shows that Buddhism brought with it an array of objects as well as new ideas about what objects could do and how they should be treated. It examines the ambivalent relationship between Buddhism and material culture.
