4.9/5 (21621 ratings)

Description:The present geopolitical rise of India and China evokes much interest in the comparative study of these two ancient Asian cultures. There are various studies comparing Western and Indian philosophies and religions, and there are similar works comparing Chinese and Western philosophy and religion. However, so far there is no systemic comparative study of Chinese and Indian philosophies and religions. Therefore there is a need to fill this gap. As such, Brahman and Dao: Comparative Studies of Indian and Chinese Philosophy and Religion is a pioneering volume in that it aims at highlighting possible bridges between these two great cultures and complex systems of thought, and it includes 17 chapters on various Indo-Chinese comparative topics.Through the efforts of many generations of Indian Buddhist missionaries to China, such as the legendary Bodhidharma, and Chinese Buddhist pilgrims to India, such as Faxian and Xuanzang, there has been a long and rich history of Buddhist transmission to China. Despite this fact, the indigenous Indian and Chinese philosophical and religious traditions did not encounter each other, except through the medium of Buddhism. We need to undertake a phenomenological study describing the similarities and differences as found between Indian and Chinese philosophy and religion, and the scholarly essays in this volume are meant to make such an attempt.The present book looks into four such themes: 1) metaphysics and soteriology, 2) ethics, 3) body, health and spirituality, and 4) language and culture.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
