The influence of Buddhism on the Chinese language, on Chinese
literature and on Chinese culture in general cannot be overstated,
and the language of most Chinese Buddhist texts differs
considerably from both Classical and Modern Chinese. This reader
aims to help students develop familiarity with features of Buddhist
texts in Chinese, including patterns of organization, grammatical
features and specialized vocabulary. It also aims to familiarize
students with the use of a range of resources necessary for
becoming independent readers of such texts. Chinese Buddhist Texts
is suitable for students who have completed the equivalent of at
least one year's college level study of Modern Chinese and are
familiar with roughly one thousand of the commonest Chinese
characters. Previous study of Classical Chinese would be an
advantage, but is not assumed. It is an ideal textbook for students
taking relevant courses in Chinese studies programs and in Buddhist
studies programs. However, it is also possible for a student to
work through the reader on his or her own. Further online resources
