This book brings together the studies of Jeaneane Fowler in Taoism,
Chinese popular religion and the broader canvas of Chinese
cosmogony, and those of Merv Fowler in Confucianism, Ch'an (Zen)
Buddhism and Pure Land Buddhism. 'Chinese Religions' requires no
previous knowledge and thereby serves as an introduction to the
religions of China, and places it in the wider context of Chinese
history and philosophy. The facets of Chinese religions are as
broad, multilayered and varied as the geographical vastness of
China itself, yet so many Chinese beliefs have found their way into
the West -- the theory of yin and yang, the I Ching, the Tao Te
Ching are good examples. One of the greatest characteristics of
Chinese religions is that they encompass virtually every avenue of
religious thought throughout the long span of Chinese pre-historic
and historical pathways.
