Based partly on unpublished documents and oral information obtained
from monks who headed major monasteries on mainland China, Holmes
Welch presents a detailed description of the modern practice of
Chinese Buddhism. Focusing on the actual rather than the
theoretical observances of the religion, he gives an exhaustive
account of the monastic system and the style of life of both monk
and layman. His study makes new information available for the
Western reader and calls into question the whole concept of the
moribund state of Chinese Buddhism.
