Buddhist history of Medieval China,Buddhist Inscriptions, Interactions between the Three Teachings(Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism)
Overview of the research
Primarily using inscriptions and Dunhuang Manuscripts, I have studied Buddhist practice and belief in regional societies of medieval China. Specifically, I have examined the spread of beliefs regarding Heaven and Pure Land rebirth and repentance rituals in inscriptions from the Northern, Sui, and Tang dynasties. Currently, I am researching the process by which Xugaosengzhuan came into existence and the history of Chang'an Buddhism during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
