The penetration of Buddhism into China and forming of China Buddhist tradition appears to be the brightest example of intercultural interaction in Chinese history, before the beginning of the intense contacts between East and West. Besides, the Chinese Buddhism became a peculiar combination of Chinese and Indian cultures. Spreading throughout the Far East, it brought not only the hieroglyphic writing on the Chinese, but also various aspects of culture.
This volume by Lewis Hodous, an American Board missionary to China, educator, Sinologist and Buddhologist, offers a detailed inquiry into Buddhism and Buddhists in China.
