Buddhist Manuscripts in China: A Case Study of Theravāda Buddhist Manuscripts in Sipsong Panna (Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, PRC)
Joe Zhou Ya
China, like many other countries in the world, is a country where multiple religious beliefs co-exist. China has its indigenous religious forms (Confucianism, Taoism and folk beliefs), and also the world’s three major religions (Buddhism, Christianity and Islam). Among these world religions, Buddhism has made the greatest impact on Chinese culture. Buddhism was introduced into China very early (first century BCE), into Southwestern China on the Silk Road. The great charm of the doctrine and teaching method of Buddhism, and the Sakyamuni Buddha, cannot be denied. In addition, the inclusiveness and flexibility of Buddhism allowed it to merge into Chinese society and to merge with the traditional culture of China itself; and it quickly became a part of Chinese culture. Today, the influence of Buddhism can be seen in politics (for example, Buddhist participation in China’s political consultation system), the economy (such as the rush of tourism aimed at Buddhist sacred places) and culture (literature, music, dance, sculpture, painting, architecture, education and so on).
The Buddhist culture of China is extensive and profound. It includes Mahāyāna Buddhism which is followed by the majority of Han Chinese Buddhists, Tibetan Vajrayāna Buddhism, and the Theravāda Buddhism of the Dai people in Southwestern China. This article is concerned with Theravāda Buddhism, and in particular, with the Buddhist manuscript culture of the Dai people in Sipsong Panna (Chinese: Xishuangbanna) in Southwestern China. The history of China’s Theravāda Buddhism is of great interest to Buddhist scholars as it is very ancient, and its teachings and texts contain the earliest strands of Buddhist thought. In this article I will present some current research into the Theravāda Buddhist manuscript culture in Southwestern China.
