This title explores the historical growth, makeup, and transformation of Chan (Zen) Buddhist literature in late mediaeval China. It also surveys the distinctive features and the contents of particular types of texts and analyses the forces, milieus, and concerns that shaped key processes of textual production. While the main emphasis is on a range of written sources that deal with a celebrated Chan tradition that developed and rose to prominence during the Tang era (618-907), the coverage extends to the Five Dynasties (907-960) and Song (960-1279) periods.
