Discerning Buddhas: Authority, Agency, and Masculinity in Chan Buddhism - The Sheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhist Studies
Kevin Buckelew
Discerning Buddhas argues that Chan Buddhists wove together tropes of sovereignty, hospitality, and martial heroism drawn from both Buddhist tradition and China’s cultural heritage to develop a distinctive vision of what it meant for a Chan master to be a buddha in Song-period China.
