"In the early twentieth century, Chinese Buddhists sought to strengthen their tradition
through publications, institution building, and initiatives aimed at raising the educational
level of the monastic community. In The Huayan University Network, Erik J. Hammerstrom
examines how Huayan Buddhism was imagined, taught, and practiced during this time
of profound political and social change and, in so doing, recasts the history of twentieth-century
Chinese Buddhism. Hammerstrom traces the influence of Huayan University, the first
Buddhist monastic school founded after the fall of the imperial system in China. Although
the university lasted only a few years, its graduates of went on to establish a number
of Huayan-centered educational programs throughout China. While they did not create
a new sectarian Huayan movement, they did form a network unified by a common educational
heritage that persists to the present day. Drawing on an extensive range of Buddhist
texts and periodicals, Hammerstrom shows that Huayan had a significant impact on Chinese
Buddhist thought and practice and that the history of Huayan complicates narratives
of twentieth-century Buddhist modernization and revival. Offering a wide range of
insights into the teaching and practice of Huayan in Republican China, this book sheds
new light on an essential but often overlooked element of the East Asian Buddhist
tradition"
