Dr. Qinqin Peng (AREA Ruhr: GRK East Asian Futures):
Decline or Revival? Narratives of “Change” in Modern Chinese Buddhist Historiography
Abstract
Combining the Buddhist karmic concept of time with Confucian cyclic cosmology, Chinese Buddhism has developed its own perspective on time and change in doctrinal and historical writings. However, this view underwent significant upheaval from the late nineteenth century onwards with the introduction of Western thought. Through an examination of modern Chinese Buddhist historiography, we can observe how the traditional Buddhist concept of change was transformed in the new historical context, and how this belief-burdened concept played a role in reshaping the worldview in modern China.
