In addition to the so-called \u201cWestern impact\u201d, Chinese Buddhists in the late-Qing and early Republican were also confronted with new ideas from Japan, including uniquely Japanese interpretations of traditional Buddhist thought. An important, yet still understudied, aspect of this encounter is the influence of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism (particularly the J\u014ddo-Shinsh\u016b school) on the Chinese interpretations of Pure Land tradition that emerged in this period. In my talk I will discuss how Chinese authors active between 1890s and 1920s critically responded to the Japanese discourse on the Pure Land, and how they selectively adapted its elements to systematize their own understanding of the Pure Land tradition as it historically evolved in China. This selective adaptation includes three interrelated concepts: the notion of the \u201cPure Land school\u201d as distinct from other \u201cschools\u201d (zong \u5b97) of Buddhism; the doctrinal distinction between \u201cself-power\u201d and \u201cother-power\u201d; and the reassessment of Tanluan (\u66c7\u9e1e; 476\u2013572), Daochuo (\u9053\u7dbd; 562\u2013645) and Shandao (\u5584\u5c0e; 613\u2013681) as distinctively Pure Land thinkers in the history of Chinese Buddhism.<\/p>","remarks":"
