Abstract:

The influence of Buddhism on the Chinese language, on Chinese literature and
on Chinese culture in general cannot be overstated, and the language of most
Chinese Buddhist texts differs considerably from both Classical and Modern
Chinese.
This reader aims to help students develop familiarity with features of
Buddhist texts in Chinese, including patterns of organization, grammatical
features and specialized vocabulary. It also aims to familiarize students with
the use of a range of resources necessary for becoming independent readers of
such texts.
Chinese Buddhist Texts is suitable for students who have completed the
equivalent of at least one year’s college level study of Modern Chinese and
are familiar with roughly one thousand of the commonest Chinese characters.
Previous study of Classical Chinese would be an advantage, but is not assumed.
It is an ideal textbook for students taking relevant courses in Chinese
studies programs and in Buddhist studies programs. However, it is also
possible for a student to work through the reader on his or her own.
