    Lecture Overview:

    This lecture explores the overall flow and characteristics of East Asian Buddhism while examining the significant ideas and figures of Chinese Buddhism and their influence on Korean Buddhism. The course delves into the interplay between these two traditions through a synchronic understanding.

     

    Learning Objectives:

    The main objective of this course is to follow the overall flow of Chinese Buddhism and gain an understanding of significant events, ideas, figures, and beliefs within Chinese Buddhism. Additionally, it aims to examine the influence of Chinese Buddhism on Korean Buddhism and explore the exchange of Buddhist practices between these two regions during the developmental process of Chinese Buddhism.

    Achieving these objectives not only expands our knowledge of the development and progression of ancient East Asian Buddhism, including China and Korea but also helps us identify intersections in religious and cultural practices within contemporary East Asian countries. It enhances our understanding of potential connections across different periods.
