REL 81.04 Buddho-Daoism: Religious Competition and Interaction in Traditional China

Buddhism and Daoism developed together in traditional China through complex interactions that produced various difficult to define religious phenomena. Daoists and Buddhists appropriated each other’s ideas and practices so that many scriptures and rituals are sometimes nearly impossible to differentiate. Local religious communities followed practices that integrated ideas from both traditions. This course examines the various manifestations of Buddho-Daoist religious traditions in traditional China and their impact on modern Chinese religion.
