Description
Karl Ludvig Reichelt’s comprehensive study delves into the rich tapestry of Chinese Mahayana Buddhism, investigating the foundational principles of truth and tradition that have shaped this spiritual movement over centuries. Translated from Norwegian by Kathrina Van Wagenen Budgge, this scholarly work offers Western readers an authoritative examination of Chinese Buddhist theology, meditation practices, and institutional development.
The author explores how Chinese Mahayana Buddhism synthesized Indian Buddhist teachings with indigenous Chinese philosophy and culture, creating a unique religious tradition. Through careful analysis, Reichelt demonstrates how truth claims within Buddhism interact with established traditions, examining key concepts such as enlightenment, karma, and the bodhisattva ideal as understood in the Chinese context.

The work bridges academic rigor with accessible scholarship, making it valuable for both specialists in Buddhist studies and general readers interested in Eastern philosophy and religion.
