The Linji lu, or Record of Linji, ranks among the most famous and influential texts of the Chan and Zen traditions. Ostensibly containing the teachings of the Tang dynasty figure Linji Yixuan, 'The Linji Lu' has generally been accepted at face value, as a reliable record of the teachings of this historical figure. Albert Welter offers a systematic study of this influential text.

"Hangzhou and the surrounding environs (i.e., the Jiangnan region) have arguably the most developed Buddhist culture in China. A Tale of Two Stūpas : Diverging Paths in the Revival of Buddhism in Hangzhou China tells the story of Hangzhou Buddhism through the conceptions, erections, and resurrections of Yongming Stūpa, dedicated to the memory of one of Hangzhou's leading Buddhist figures, and Leifeng Pagoda, built to house stūpas of the historical Buddha's remains. While delving into the intricacies of these two sites, the work is particularly interested in their origins and their 'resurrections'. What we find in both cases is a history marked by grandeur and tragedy, of expected and unexpected turns. Reconstructed, reactivated, and reasserted Yongming Stūpa and Leifeng Pagoda have resumed meaningful places in the contemporary Hangzhou landscape. Their contemporary resurgences are by no means the first. Both had suffered devastation before and endured long periods of neglect. Yet both were resurrected (and re-resurrected) during the course of their histories, a mark of the power of their endurance. A Tale of Two Stūpas shows how the dynamics of initial conception, resurrection, and re-resurrection work and what it tells us about the nature of Hangzhou Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism, more generally"--

This collection examines the impact of East Asian religion and culture on the public sphere, defined as an idealized discursive arena that mediates the official and private spheres. It contends that the actors and agents on the fringes of society were the most instrumental in shaping the public sphere in traditional and modern East Asia, and considers how these outliers contribute to religious, intellectual, and cultural dialog in the public sphere. When Jürgen Habermas conceptualized the public sphere in his seminal 1962 work The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, he asserted that the discursive arena emerged from and grew within Western European bourgeoisie society in such settings as coffee houses, literary salons, and various print media. The sphere allows one to engage in matters of public interest in a forum separate from their private and official lives. Arguable overlooking certain topics, notably gender, minorities, and non--‐European civilizations, as well as the extent to which agency in the public sphere is effective in non‐Western societies (including East Asia) and the extent to which practitioners on the outskirts of mainstream society play a role in the public sphere. This volume responds to and builds upon this dialogue by addressing how religious, intellectual, and cultural agency in the public sphere shapes East Asian cultures, particularly the activities of those found on the peripheries of historic and modern societies.
