Learning from the West, Learning from the East: The Emergence of the Study of Buddhism in Japan and Europe before 1900
The essays collected in this volume for the first time foreground the fundamental role Asian actors played in the formation of scholarly knowledge on Buddhism and the emergence of Buddhist studies as an academic discipline in Europe and Asia during the second half of the nineteenth century. The contributions focus on different aspects of the interchange between Japanese Buddhists and their European interlocutors ranging from the halls of Oxford to the temples of Nara. They break the mould of previous scholarship and redress the imbalances inherent in Eurocentric accounts of the construction of Buddhism as an object of professorial interest. Contributors are: Micah Auerback, Mick Deneckere, Stephan Kigensan Licha, Hans Martin Krämer, Ōmi Toshihiro, Jakub Zamorski, Suzanne Marchand, Martin Baumann, Catherine Fhima, and Roland Lardinois.
Taixu’s ‘On the Establishment of the Pure Land in the Human Realm’
In this book, Charles B. Jones provides the first English language translation of one of the most important texts of modern Chinese Buddhism: monk-reformer Taixu's 'On the Establishment of the Pure Land in the Human Realm'. The essay, written in 1926 as part of Taixu's attempt to revive Chinese Buddhism with a Humanistic Buddhist approach, incorporates Western thought into a reconstruction of the idea of the 'Pure Land in the human realm'. In his commentary on the text, Jones argues that it has been widely misunderstood and mischaracterized. Jones demonstrates that, besides laying out the very modern idea of the Pure Land in the human realm as a slogan for Buddhist engagement with the proble...
From Trustworthiness to Secular Beliefs
This volume excavates the genealogy of xin 信--a term that has become the modern Chinese counterpart for the English word "faith." More than twenty experts trace its religious and non-religious roots in several traditions, including Confucian, Buddhist, Daoist, Muslim, Christian, Japanese, popular religious, and modern secular contexts.
Chinese Buddhist Canons in the Age of Printing
The study of the Chinese Buddhist Canon—the basic literature of Buddhism—does not have an eminent place in study either in China or in the Western World. For the contributors to this volume, their chapters are the result of decades of dedication to academic research, and they reveal many facets of the Buddhist Canon that were previously unstudied. This book originated in the first and second International Conferences on Chinese Buddhist Canon, and focuses on the communication of the Chinese Buddhist Canon through the medium of print. It enhances our knowledge of how the canon was collated, proofread and printed. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in Chinese Religions.

Haiku po polsku. Genologia w perspektywie transkulturowej
Książka jest pierwszą monografią poezji polskiej dającej się różnorako wiązać z japońskimi miniaturami haiku. Autorka poddaje analizie lirykę ostatnich z górą stu lat (od Młodej Polski po czasy najnowsze), omawia intersemiotyczne uwikłania haiku, dotyka również problematyki translatologicznej. W pracy opisywane są zarówno utwory ortodoksyjnie wierne założeniom japońskich 17-zgłoskowców, jak i wiersze różnorako oscylujące wokół prototypu gatunku oraz miniatury ukrywające pod modnym dalekowschodnim szyldem stare europejskie formy literackie. Monografia wpisuje się w nurt badań komparatystyki kulturowej; pokazuje panoramę zjawisk artystycznych szeroko definiowanego modernizmu: polskiego i, w bardziej punktowych odsłonach, zachodnioeuropejskiego i amerykańskiego.
