Showcasing the diverse and innovative strategies of translators who joined forces to surmount barriers, this work highlights how their collaborative translation efforts facilitated the spread of Buddhist teachings throughout China. This book brings to light the often overlooked yet crucial roles of these translation teams and examines their organizational structures, translation processes, and the distinct roles of individual members, offering critical insights into the cultural and religious fabric of the period. By enhancing our understanding of the complex dynamics within these institutions, this work also addresses a significant gap in the historical study of sūtra translation in medieval China. It is an essential resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Buddhism, translation studies, and Chinese history.SpringerBriefs in Religious Studies,2510-5043ReligionsEast AsiaBuddhismTranslating and interpretingBuddhist philosophyPhilosophy, ChineseEast Asian ReligionsBuddhismLanguage TranslationBuddhist philosophyChinese PhilosophyReligions.East Asia.Buddhism.Translating and interpreting.Buddhist philosophy.Philosophy, Chinese.East Asian Religions.Buddhism.Language Translation.Buddhist philosophy.Chinese Philosophy.299.5Siu Sai Yau1744549MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910872188303321The Evolution of Team-Based Buddhist Scripture Translation in Tang China4174521UNINA
