Out of the Cloister: Literati Perspectives on Buddhism in Sung China, 960–1279 - Harvard East Asian Monographs
Mark Halperin
This book demonstrates that representations of Buddhism by lay people underwent a major change during the T’ang–Sung transition. These changes built on basic transformations within the Buddhist and classicist traditions and sometimes resulted in the use of Buddhism and Buddhist temples as frames of reference to evaluate aspects of lay society.
