In my research I specialize in the intellectual and institutional history of Chinese Buddhism during the modern period. I have studied Buddhist responses to elements of modernity, such as the discourses surrounding both religion and modern science; and I have recently begun work on a "biography" of Huáyán 華嚴 school of Chinese Buddhism in the early twentieth century. As an extension of my work on Chinese Buddhism, I helped establish the Database of Modern Chinese Buddhism (http://buddhistinformatics.ddbc.edu.tw/dmcb/Main_Page ), which I continue to co-edit.<br

to strengthen their tradition through publications, institution building, and initiatives aimed at raising the educational level of the monastic community. The Huayan University Network traces the influence of Huayan University, the first Buddhist monastic school founded after the fall of the imperial system in China. Although the university lasted only a few years, its graduates went on to establish a number of Huayan-centered educational programs throughout China. While they did not create a new sectarian Huayan movement, they did form a network unified by a common educational heritage that persists to the present day. Drawing on an extensive range of Buddhist texts and periodicals, Hammerstrom shows that Huayan had a significant impact on Chinese Buddhist thought and practice and that the history of Huayan complicates narratives of twentieth-century Buddhist modernization and revival. Offering a wide range of insights into the teaching and practice of Huayan in Republican China, this book sheds new light on an essential but often overlooked element of the East Asian Buddhist tradition.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44061801"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44061801"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44061801; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44061801]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44061801]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44061801; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='44061801']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=44061801]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":44061801,"title":"The Huayan University Network The Teaching and Practice of Avataṃsaka Buddhism in Twentieth-Century China","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/44061801/The_Huayan_University_Network_The_Teaching_and_Practice_of_Avata%E1%B9%83saka_Buddhism_in_Twentieth_Century_China","owner_id":51927,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":51927,"first_name":"Erik","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Hammerstrom","page_name":"ErikHammerstrom","domain_name":"plu","created_at":"2009-06-28T04:08:54.021-07:00","display_name":"Erik Hammerstrom","url":"https://plu.academia.edu/ErikHammerstrom"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="14085394"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/14085394/The_Science_of_Chinese_Buddhism_Early_Twentieth_Century_Engagements"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Science of Chinese Buddhism: Early Twentieth-Century Engagements" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/14085394/The_Science_of_Chinese_Buddhism_Early_Twentieth_Century_Engagements">The Science of Chinese Buddhism: Early Twentieth-Century Engagements</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Kexue, or science, captured the Chinese imagination in the early twentieth century, promising new...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Kexue, or science, captured the Chinese imagination in the early twentieth century, promising new knowledge about the world and a dynamic path to prosperity. Chinese Buddhists embraced scientific language and ideas to carve out a place for their religion within a rapidly modernizing society.<br /><br />Examining dozens of previously unstudied writings from the Chinese Buddhist press, this book maps Buddhists' efforts to rethink their traditions through science in the initial decades of the twentieth century. Buddhists believed science offered an exciting, alternative route to knowledge grounded in empirical thought, much like their own. They encouraged young scholars to study subatomic and relativistic physics while still maintaining Buddhism's vital illumination of human nature and its crucial support of an ethical system rooted in radical egalitarianism. Showcasing the rich and progressive steps Chinese religious scholars took in adapting to science's rising authority, this volume offers a key perspective on how a major Eastern power transitioned to modernity in the twentieth century and how its intellectuals anticipated many of the ideas debated by scholars of science and Buddhism today.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="14085394"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="14085394"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 14085394;

One of the central goals of this volume is to critically assess the concepts we use in the study of modern Chinese religion, and we must take science into account as one such concept. I am certainly not the first person to suggest this, and a great deal of good scholarship has already been written on the role that the category of “science” has played in social, political, and legal movements in early twentieth-century China, especially vis-à-vis the categories of “religion” and “superstition.” Certainly, these are important issues, as such movements had a profound impact on the trajectories of Chinese religion throughout the twentieth century. Just as scholars have studied the popularity of science as an external force acting on religion, some have examined the way that scientific language has been employed by Buddhists, Daoists, and practitioners of qigong 氣功. My goal in this chapter is to expand upon these latter studies by analyzing in broad fashion some of the discursive uses to which religious actors in the Sinophone world have put scientific language and scientific ideas. We must acknowledge the ways in which they impact how religious people and religious bodies articulate their identities, both among themselves and to external groups.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44061854"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44061854"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44061854;

Buddhist intellectuals disseminated modern taxonomies of knowledge related to specific sciences, while also resisting and redefining the categories of science and religion themselves. In highlighting the ways in which modern classifications of knowledge affected these Buddhists’ discussions of their own tradition, this chapter reveals their contributions to the Science and Philosophy of Life Debates of the 1920s—, an important cultural moment in China in which the potential and limits of these new categories were discussed in an explicit manner.<br /><br />This is a chapter in _Recovering Buddhist China in the Twentieth-Century_, edited by Jan Kiely and J.

Although he did not use the term, the target of Wang’s essay was scientism, an extreme form of logical positivism which claims that natural science is the sole authority for answering questions of both fact and value. This materialist position became popular in China from the late 1910s, and it posed a serious challenge to a wide variety of ontological and epistemological claims, including those made within Buddhist circles. While he did not oppose science in general, Wang believed the spread of scientism would lead to an increasingly violent and materialistic society. As a result, he critiqued the authority of its absolutist view by emphasizing the epistemic limits of the scientific method, and by rejecting its Cartesian dualism in favor of the Mahayana Buddhist position that “the myriad dharmas are consciousness-only” (wanfa weishi).</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="78c5fd463ad21e7664373c265e748704" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":34314229,"asset_id":7809751,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/34314229/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="7809751"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="7809751"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 7809751;

It discusses the specific historical and religious context in which Wang was operating in order to identify the particular tensions that existed between the new Heart-of-Mind Method and the dominant culture. This context resulted in the specific issues that Wang focused on in arguing for the legitimacy of this nascent tradition, which included: 1) claims in society that esoteric Buddhism is “superstitious;” 2) changing cultural and political attitudes toward Japan and Tibet, which were the sources of much esoteric teaching in circulation in China during that period; and 3) the religious demand that any esoteric lineage be based upon a legitimate, traditional lineage which had the potential to undermine apparently sui generis traditions like Wang’s.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6540661"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6540661"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6540661;

This “Wuchang School” can be viewed as another major inheritor of the great <br />lay Buddhist Yang Wenhui’s 楊文會 (1837–1911) legacy in modern Chinese Buddhism. Indeed, the Wuchang School was arguably more successful in the long term than Ouyang Jingwu’s 歐陽竟無 (1871–1943) China Inner Learning Institute <br />(Zhina Neixue Yuan 支那內學院), which is discussed in other chapters of this volume. Whereas Ouyang’s students Lü Cheng 呂澂 (1896–1989) and Xiong Shili 熊十力 (1885–1968) are rightly famous for their contributions to modern discourses about Yogācāra, the Wuchang School exerted a lasting influence on the institutions and thought of modern Chinese Buddhism that should not be overlooked. For members of this school, Yogācāra served as an indispensable resource for understanding and critiquing the complexities of modern mind <br />science.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6540620"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6540620"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6540620;

I approach this topic by examining the life and works of Wang Xiaoxu (1875-1948),6 a lay Buddhist and one of China’s first great modern scientists, who made significant contributions to the development of Chinese Buddhist discourses about science and the relationship between Buddhism and science. This article is comprised of two interlocking parts, each of which contains an argument about the development of Wang’s type of Buddhist modernism. Here, I write about both the life and the works of Wang Xiaoxu, and each of these two aspects of the man tells us something about developments in religious discourse in the Republican period.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="3226687"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="3226687"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 3226687;

Buddhists played an active role in the appropriation of science in China as they sought to relate their tradition to science in such a way that Buddhism would still have a place in the society of the modern Chinese state. In the course of these negotiations, Chinese Buddhists dealt with the most current advances in science; they discussed X-rays in the 1890s, the discovery that the Milky Way is not the only one in the universe in the 1920s, and they followed developments in the fields of Relativistic and quantum physics. Buddhists argued that while science was invaluable for the people of the world, scientific materialism was not. They cautioned about the ethical implications of certain aspects of science, such as the invention of new weapons and the theory of social Darwinism. In this dissertation, I show how Chinese Buddhists drew from their traditions of epistemology, psychology, and cosmology to highlight similarities between science and Buddhism, all while maintaining the superiority of Buddhism by identifying it as a “higher empiricism.” I trace the historical development of Chinese Buddhist discourses about something called “science,” by which I do not mean a body of knowledge or a set of practices, but an ideological entity that was identified by conflicting definitions and usages. I explicitly avoid the pitfalls inherent in adopting the popular “conflict thesis” for understanding the relationship between science and religion. I also avoid the opposite view, that of the “compatibility thesis,” which states that Buddhism is inherently compatible with science (especially when compared with Christianity). In analyzing the development of Buddhist discourses on science, I point out the areas of disagreements among them with regard to the proper use of science, as well as the extent to which Buddhists thought they could or should rely on science to prove the veracity of their doctrine. Finally, I reflect on the ways in which this study could expand and enhance the global study of the relationship between science and religion.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="947762"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="947762"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947762; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947762]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947762]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947762; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='947762']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=947762]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":947762,"title":"Buddhists Discuss Science in Modern China (1895--1949) (Ph.D. Dissert.)","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/947762/Buddhists_Discuss_Science_in_Modern_China_1895_1949_Ph_D_Dissert_","owner_id":51927,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":51927,"first_name":"Erik","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Hammerstrom","page_name":"ErikHammerstrom","domain_name":"plu","created_at":"2009-06-28T04:08:54.021-07:00","display_name":"Erik Hammerstrom","url":"https://plu.academia.edu/ErikHammerstrom"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="275079"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/275079/The_Expression_The_Myriad_Dharmas_are_Only_Consciousness_in_Early_20th_Century_Chinese_Buddhism"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Expression ‘The Myriad Dharmas are Only Consciousness’ in Early 20th Century Chinese Buddhism" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/1216349/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/275079/The_Expression_The_Myriad_Dharmas_are_Only_Consciousness_in_Early_20th_Century_Chinese_Buddhism">The Expression ‘The Myriad Dharmas are Only Consciousness’ in Early 20th Century Chinese Buddhism</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This article offers a preliminary examination of the ways in which Consciousness-Only thought was...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This article offers a preliminary examination of the ways in which Consciousness-Only thought was adapted to modern intellectual discourses in China from the 1910s to the 1940s.

As one of the few practices shared by members of a religious order spread over a large geographical area, the liturgy represents the most basic set of views and practices its members shared. As chanted text, liturgy also represents textual doctrine 'in action,' by examining the contents of that liturgy we gain greater insight into the nature of Daoist monasticism. I begin by reviewing the history of the Daoist monastic school known as the Quanzhen. In the second chapter I examine the social and soteriological roles of liturgy according to the most dominant order of the Quanzhen, the Longmen, by relying on liturgical and normative texts. In the third chapter I analyze an influential Longmen liturgical manual. Finally, I compare the structure of Daoist liturgy with the daily liturgy of Chinese Buddhist monasteries. I also contrast the Daoist monastic liturgy with other forms of Daoist ritual in order to demonstrate the unique nature of Daoist monastic liturgy.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="947763"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="947763"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947763; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947763]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947763]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947763; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='947763']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=947763]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":947763,"title":"The Mysterious Gate: Daoist Monastic Liturgy in Late Imperial China (M.A. Thesis)","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/947763/The_Mysterious_Gate_Daoist_Monastic_Liturgy_in_Late_Imperial_China_M_A_Thesis_","owner_id":51927,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":51927,"first_name":"Erik","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Hammerstrom","page_name":"ErikHammerstrom","domain_name":"plu","created_at":"2009-06-28T04:08:54.021-07:00","display_name":"Erik Hammerstrom","url":"https://plu.academia.edu/ErikHammerstrom"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="profile--tab_heading_container js-section-heading" data-section="Teaching Documents" id="Teaching Documents"><h3 class="profile--tab_heading_container">Teaching Documents by Erik Hammerstrom</h3></div><div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="23576912"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/23576912/Tacoma_Buddhism_Pure_Land_and_Zen_Syllabus_2016_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Tacoma Buddhism: Pure Land and Zen (Syllabus 2016)" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/44000124/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/23576912/Tacoma_Buddhism_Pure_Land_and_Zen_Syllabus_2016_">Tacoma Buddhism: Pure Land and Zen (Syllabus 2016)</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This course is about Buddhism in East Asia and the adaptation of Buddhism in the United States.

Students will focus their studies on two Buddhist paths to enlightenment: Zen and Pure Land. Different in emphasis, these are the two most prominent practices of Buddhism in East Asia, and they are well represented in Tacoma, the City of Destiny. In this class, students will first learn about the historical development of these two forms of Buddhist praxis in Asia. Following this, students will examine the history of immigration from Asia to the U.S., with an emphasis on immigration to the Puget Sound. We will also study the intersection of race and Buddhism in America today. The first and second sections of the course serve as the groundwork for the third, in which students will study the history and current situations of several traditions present in our area: Korean Sǒn (Zen), Japanese Jōdō Shinshū (True Pure Land), and Vietnamese syncretic Buddhism. We will do this by learning from our neighbors as we make visits to several Buddhist communities located here in Tacoma. Through interactions with local Buddhists, students will learn about the ways in which the Buddhist faith has taken root in our city.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="6c01574e4427ee9ede751c8a2fc697ff" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44000124,"asset_id":23576912,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44000124/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="23576912"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="23576912"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23576912;

This is a course on the history of Western perceptions of Asian religions. Students in this course will examine the history of two claims: The first is that Asian religion, and possibly even Asian culture, is inherently more "spiritual" than Western religion and culture. The second claim is that Asian religions such as Buddhism, Daoism and Hinduism are somehow all the same, that there really is only one Asian or "Eastern" religion. It is common to hear both of these ideas when talking about Asian religions in the West, and in this class we will critically examine some of the different trends in Western intellectual history that led to the popularity of these ideas. As a result, much of this class will focus on the history of big ideas in the West. If you are interested in what the different beliefs and practices of various Asian religions actually are, there are many other courses on Asian religion offered here at PLU on a regular basis and you should feel free to take one of those instead.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7044a55b8f7f3c6e5b62ef2cffc7d980" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":34388539,"asset_id":1744211,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/34388539/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="1744211"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="1744211"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1744211;

The Huayan University Network traces the influence of Huayan University, the first Buddhist monastic school founded after the fall of the imperial system in China. Although the university lasted only a few years, its graduates went on to establish a number of Huayan-centered educational programs throughout China. While they did not create a new sectarian Huayan movement, they did form a network unified by a common educational heritage that persists to the present day. Drawing on an extensive range of Buddhist texts and periodicals, Hammerstrom shows that Huayan had a significant impact on Chinese Buddhist thought and practice and that the history of Huayan complicates narratives of twentieth-century Buddhist modernization and revival. Offering a wide range of insights into the teaching and practice of Huayan in Republican China, this book sheds new light on an essential but often overlooked element of the East Asian Buddhist tradition.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44061801"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44061801"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44061801; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44061801]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=44061801]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44061801; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='44061801']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=44061801]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":44061801,"title":"The Huayan University Network The Teaching and Practice of Avataṃsaka Buddhism in Twentieth-Century China","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/44061801/The_Huayan_University_Network_The_Teaching_and_Practice_of_Avata%E1%B9%83saka_Buddhism_in_Twentieth_Century_China","owner_id":51927,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":51927,"first_name":"Erik","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Hammerstrom","page_name":"ErikHammerstrom","domain_name":"plu","created_at":"2009-06-28T04:08:54.021-07:00","display_name":"Erik Hammerstrom","url":"https://plu.academia.edu/ErikHammerstrom"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="14085394"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/14085394/The_Science_of_Chinese_Buddhism_Early_Twentieth_Century_Engagements"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Science of Chinese Buddhism: Early Twentieth-Century Engagements" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/14085394/The_Science_of_Chinese_Buddhism_Early_Twentieth_Century_Engagements">The Science of Chinese Buddhism: Early Twentieth-Century Engagements</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Kexue, or science, captured the Chinese imagination in the early twentieth century, promising new...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Kexue, or science, captured the Chinese imagination in the early twentieth century, promising new knowledge about the world and a dynamic path to prosperity. Chinese Buddhists embraced scientific language and ideas to carve out a place for their religion within a rapidly modernizing society.<br /><br />Examining dozens of previously unstudied writings from the Chinese Buddhist press, this book maps Buddhists' efforts to rethink their traditions through science in the initial decades of the twentieth century. Buddhists believed science offered an exciting, alternative route to knowledge grounded in empirical thought, much like their own. They encouraged young scholars to study subatomic and relativistic physics while still maintaining Buddhism's vital illumination of human nature and its crucial support of an ethical system rooted in radical egalitarianism. Showcasing the rich and progressive steps Chinese religious scholars took in adapting to science's rising authority, this volume offers a key perspective on how a major Eastern power transitioned to modernity in the twentieth century and how its intellectuals anticipated many of the ideas debated by scholars of science and Buddhism today.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="14085394"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="14085394"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 14085394;

One of the central goals of this volume is to critically assess the concepts we use in the study of modern Chinese religion, and we must take science into account as one such concept. I am certainly not the first person to suggest this, and a great deal of good scholarship has already been written on the role that the category of “science” has played in social, political, and legal movements in early twentieth-century China, especially vis-à-vis the categories of “religion” and “superstition.” Certainly, these are important issues, as such movements had a profound impact on the trajectories of Chinese religion throughout the twentieth century. Just as scholars have studied the popularity of science as an external force acting on religion, some have examined the way that scientific language has been employed by Buddhists, Daoists, and practitioners of qigong 氣功. My goal in this chapter is to expand upon these latter studies by analyzing in broad fashion some of the discursive uses to which religious actors in the Sinophone world have put scientific language and scientific ideas. We must acknowledge the ways in which they impact how religious people and religious bodies articulate their identities, both among themselves and to external groups.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44061854"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44061854"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44061854;

Buddhist intellectuals disseminated modern taxonomies of knowledge related to specific sciences, while also resisting and redefining the categories of science and religion themselves. In highlighting the ways in which modern classifications of knowledge affected these Buddhists’ discussions of their own tradition, this chapter reveals their contributions to the Science and Philosophy of Life Debates of the 1920s—, an important cultural moment in China in which the potential and limits of these new categories were discussed in an explicit manner.<br /><br />This is a chapter in _Recovering Buddhist China in the Twentieth-Century_, edited by Jan Kiely and J.

Although he did not use the term, the target of Wang’s essay was scientism, an extreme form of logical positivism which claims that natural science is the sole authority for answering questions of both fact and value. This materialist position became popular in China from the late 1910s, and it posed a serious challenge to a wide variety of ontological and epistemological claims, including those made within Buddhist circles. While he did not oppose science in general, Wang believed the spread of scientism would lead to an increasingly violent and materialistic society. As a result, he critiqued the authority of its absolutist view by emphasizing the epistemic limits of the scientific method, and by rejecting its Cartesian dualism in favor of the Mahayana Buddhist position that “the myriad dharmas are consciousness-only” (wanfa weishi).</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="78c5fd463ad21e7664373c265e748704" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":34314229,"asset_id":7809751,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/34314229/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="7809751"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="7809751"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 7809751;

It discusses the specific historical and religious context in which Wang was operating in order to identify the particular tensions that existed between the new Heart-of-Mind Method and the dominant culture. This context resulted in the specific issues that Wang focused on in arguing for the legitimacy of this nascent tradition, which included: 1) claims in society that esoteric Buddhism is “superstitious;” 2) changing cultural and political attitudes toward Japan and Tibet, which were the sources of much esoteric teaching in circulation in China during that period; and 3) the religious demand that any esoteric lineage be based upon a legitimate, traditional lineage which had the potential to undermine apparently sui generis traditions like Wang’s.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6540661"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6540661"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6540661;

This “Wuchang School” can be viewed as another major inheritor of the great <br />lay Buddhist Yang Wenhui’s 楊文會 (1837–1911) legacy in modern Chinese Buddhism. Indeed, the Wuchang School was arguably more successful in the long term than Ouyang Jingwu’s 歐陽竟無 (1871–1943) China Inner Learning Institute <br />(Zhina Neixue Yuan 支那內學院), which is discussed in other chapters of this volume. Whereas Ouyang’s students Lü Cheng 呂澂 (1896–1989) and Xiong Shili 熊十力 (1885–1968) are rightly famous for their contributions to modern discourses about Yogācāra, the Wuchang School exerted a lasting influence on the institutions and thought of modern Chinese Buddhism that should not be overlooked. For members of this school, Yogācāra served as an indispensable resource for understanding and critiquing the complexities of modern mind <br />science.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6540620"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6540620"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6540620;

I approach this topic by examining the life and works of Wang Xiaoxu (1875-1948),6 a lay Buddhist and one of China’s first great modern scientists, who made significant contributions to the development of Chinese Buddhist discourses about science and the relationship between Buddhism and science. This article is comprised of two interlocking parts, each of which contains an argument about the development of Wang’s type of Buddhist modernism. Here, I write about both the life and the works of Wang Xiaoxu, and each of these two aspects of the man tells us something about developments in religious discourse in the Republican period.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="3226687"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="3226687"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 3226687;

Buddhists played an active role in the appropriation of science in China as they sought to relate their tradition to science in such a way that Buddhism would still have a place in the society of the modern Chinese state. In the course of these negotiations, Chinese Buddhists dealt with the most current advances in science; they discussed X-rays in the 1890s, the discovery that the Milky Way is not the only one in the universe in the 1920s, and they followed developments in the fields of Relativistic and quantum physics. Buddhists argued that while science was invaluable for the people of the world, scientific materialism was not. They cautioned about the ethical implications of certain aspects of science, such as the invention of new weapons and the theory of social Darwinism. In this dissertation, I show how Chinese Buddhists drew from their traditions of epistemology, psychology, and cosmology to highlight similarities between science and Buddhism, all while maintaining the superiority of Buddhism by identifying it as a “higher empiricism.” I trace the historical development of Chinese Buddhist discourses about something called “science,” by which I do not mean a body of knowledge or a set of practices, but an ideological entity that was identified by conflicting definitions and usages. I explicitly avoid the pitfalls inherent in adopting the popular “conflict thesis” for understanding the relationship between science and religion. I also avoid the opposite view, that of the “compatibility thesis,” which states that Buddhism is inherently compatible with science (especially when compared with Christianity). In analyzing the development of Buddhist discourses on science, I point out the areas of disagreements among them with regard to the proper use of science, as well as the extent to which Buddhists thought they could or should rely on science to prove the veracity of their doctrine. Finally, I reflect on the ways in which this study could expand and enhance the global study of the relationship between science and religion.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="947762"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="947762"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947762; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947762]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947762]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947762; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='947762']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=947762]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":947762,"title":"Buddhists Discuss Science in Modern China (1895--1949) (Ph.D. Dissert.)","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/947762/Buddhists_Discuss_Science_in_Modern_China_1895_1949_Ph_D_Dissert_","owner_id":51927,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":51927,"first_name":"Erik","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Hammerstrom","page_name":"ErikHammerstrom","domain_name":"plu","created_at":"2009-06-28T04:08:54.021-07:00","display_name":"Erik Hammerstrom","url":"https://plu.academia.edu/ErikHammerstrom"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="275079"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/275079/The_Expression_The_Myriad_Dharmas_are_Only_Consciousness_in_Early_20th_Century_Chinese_Buddhism"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Expression ‘The Myriad Dharmas are Only Consciousness’ in Early 20th Century Chinese Buddhism" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/1216349/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/275079/The_Expression_The_Myriad_Dharmas_are_Only_Consciousness_in_Early_20th_Century_Chinese_Buddhism">The Expression ‘The Myriad Dharmas are Only Consciousness’ in Early 20th Century Chinese Buddhism</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This article offers a preliminary examination of the ways in which Consciousness-Only thought was...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This article offers a preliminary examination of the ways in which Consciousness-Only thought was adapted to modern intellectual discourses in China from the 1910s to the 1940s.

It is argued that Buddhists chose to use the doctrine of Consciousness-Only (weishi) as a Buddhist ontology in contradistinction to the idealism (weixin) and materialism (weiwu) of philosophy.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="624788ed39325b359eaba26682c86629" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":1216349,"asset_id":275079,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/1216349/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="275079"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="275079"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 275079;

As one of the few practices shared by members of a religious order spread over a large geographical area, the liturgy represents the most basic set of views and practices its members shared. As chanted text, liturgy also represents textual doctrine 'in action,' by examining the contents of that liturgy we gain greater insight into the nature of Daoist monasticism. I begin by reviewing the history of the Daoist monastic school known as the Quanzhen. In the second chapter I examine the social and soteriological roles of liturgy according to the most dominant order of the Quanzhen, the Longmen, by relying on liturgical and normative texts. In the third chapter I analyze an influential Longmen liturgical manual. Finally, I compare the structure of Daoist liturgy with the daily liturgy of Chinese Buddhist monasteries. I also contrast the Daoist monastic liturgy with other forms of Daoist ritual in order to demonstrate the unique nature of Daoist monastic liturgy.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="947763"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="947763"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947763; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947763]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=947763]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 947763; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='947763']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=947763]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":947763,"title":"The Mysterious Gate: Daoist Monastic Liturgy in Late Imperial China (M.A. Thesis)","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/947763/The_Mysterious_Gate_Daoist_Monastic_Liturgy_in_Late_Imperial_China_M_A_Thesis_","owner_id":51927,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":51927,"first_name":"Erik","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Hammerstrom","page_name":"ErikHammerstrom","domain_name":"plu","created_at":"2009-06-28T04:08:54.021-07:00","display_name":"Erik Hammerstrom","url":"https://plu.academia.edu/ErikHammerstrom"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> </div><div class="profile--tab_content_container js-tab-pane tab-pane" data-section-id="237992" id="teachingdocuments"><div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="23576912"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/23576912/Tacoma_Buddhism_Pure_Land_and_Zen_Syllabus_2016_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Tacoma Buddhism: Pure Land and Zen (Syllabus 2016)" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/44000124/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/23576912/Tacoma_Buddhism_Pure_Land_and_Zen_Syllabus_2016_">Tacoma Buddhism: Pure Land and Zen (Syllabus 2016)</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This course is about Buddhism in East Asia and the adaptation of Buddhism in the United States.

Students will focus their studies on two Buddhist paths to enlightenment: Zen and Pure Land. Different in emphasis, these are the two most prominent practices of Buddhism in East Asia, and they are well represented in Tacoma, the City of Destiny. In this class, students will first learn about the historical development of these two forms of Buddhist praxis in Asia. Following this, students will examine the history of immigration from Asia to the U.S., with an emphasis on immigration to the Puget Sound. We will also study the intersection of race and Buddhism in America today. The first and second sections of the course serve as the groundwork for the third, in which students will study the history and current situations of several traditions present in our area: Korean Sǒn (Zen), Japanese Jōdō Shinshū (True Pure Land), and Vietnamese syncretic Buddhism. We will do this by learning from our neighbors as we make visits to several Buddhist communities located here in Tacoma. Through interactions with local Buddhists, students will learn about the ways in which the Buddhist faith has taken root in our city.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="6c01574e4427ee9ede751c8a2fc697ff" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":44000124,"asset_id":23576912,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44000124/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="23576912"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="23576912"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23576912;

This is a course on the history of Western perceptions of Asian religions. Students in this course will examine the history of two claims: The first is that Asian religion, and possibly even Asian culture, is inherently more "spiritual" than Western religion and culture. The second claim is that Asian religions such as Buddhism, Daoism and Hinduism are somehow all the same, that there really is only one Asian or "Eastern" religion. It is common to hear both of these ideas when talking about Asian religions in the West, and in this class we will critically examine some of the different trends in Western intellectual history that led to the popularity of these ideas. As a result, much of this class will focus on the history of big ideas in the West. If you are interested in what the different beliefs and practices of various Asian religions actually are, there are many other courses on Asian religion offered here at PLU on a regular basis and you should feel free to take one of those instead.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7044a55b8f7f3c6e5b62ef2cffc7d980" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":34388539,"asset_id":1744211,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/34388539/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="1744211"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="1744211"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 1744211;
