The History of the Formation of Early Chinese Buddhism: A Study on Discourse Characteristics delves into the intricate process of the sinicization of Buddhism, offering a comprehensive exploration of the origins of perceived similarities between Buddhism and Daoism, as well as the application of traditional Daoist terminologies in the translation of Buddhist texts. Through this analysis, the text critically examines the Daoistization of Buddhism and provides a comparative overview of the general human ways of thinking in India and China during the Wei-Jin era. By examining commentaries by scholarly Chinese monks during this period and the philosophical nature of Neo-Daoism, which played a pivotal role in the Chinese transformation of Buddhism, this book aims to understand why discourses on the imperishability of the spirit emerged as the central focus in early Chinese Buddhism, as well as the significance of colossal Buddhist statues that serve as a testament to the establishment of an Absolute Deity in China.
