Project: Rooting Tiantai Buddhism in the Tiantai Mountains: Legitimation Techniques in the Establishment and Re-establishment of a Buddhist Order on a Chinese Mountain Ridge

2012-10-01 – 2013-10-01

Abstract

In my research project I will examine the development of Buddhist monasticism in the Tiantai Mountains. The Tiantai Mountains were the sanctuary of a notable order of Chinese Buddhism, which had its monasteries scattered all over the mountain ridge. My project will examine the order’s general religious infrastructure, and the traditions connected with the individual monastic establishments.
