The influence of Buddhism on the Chinese language, on Chinese literature and on Chinese culture in general cannot be overstated, and the language of most Chinese Buddhist texts differs considerably from both classical and modern Chinese.

This textbook aims to help students develop familiarity with features of Buddhist texts in Chinese, including patterns of organization, grammatical features and specialized vocabulary. It also aims to familiarize students with the use of a range of resources necessary for becoming independent readers of such texts.

Chinese Buddhist Texts is directly relevant to students and course instructors both in Chinese studies programs and in Buddhist studies programs; students who have completed the equivalent of at least one year’s study of modern Chinese.
