It seemed more critical than ever to establish a definition by which Americanness could be established, transmitted, maintained, and judged. Americans of all stripes sought to articulate and enforce their visions of the nation's past, present, and future; central to these attempts was President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt fully recognized the narrative component of American identity, and he calle 410 0$aNation of Newcomers 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xIntellectual life 606 $aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aEthnicity in literature 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y1865-1918 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImmigrants$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 676 $a973.91/1092 700 $aTaubenfeld$b Aviva F$01037161 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480752203321 996 $aRough Writing$92457935 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03722nam 2200673 450 001 9910813700603321 005 20210513203558.0 010 $a0-231-53777-8 024 7 $a10.7312/mcgu16802 035 $a(CKB)3710000000238112 035 $a(EBL)1785219 035 $a(OCoLC)890982198 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001333297 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11716220 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001333297 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11385752 035 $a(PQKB)10027263 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001076009 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1785219 035 $a(DE-B1597)458433 035 $a(OCoLC)979739583 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780231537773 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1785219 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10929243 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL668650 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000238112 100 $a20140918h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLiving karma $ethe religious practices of Ouyi Zhixu /$fBeverley Foulks McGuire 210 1$aNew York :$cColumbia University Press,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (241 p.) 225 1 $aSheng Yen Series in Chinese Buddhism Studies 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a1-322-37368-X 311 0 $a0-231-16802-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIllustrations --$tAcknowledgments --$tIntroduction --$t1.

Through vows, divination, repentance rituals, and ascetic acts such as burning and blood writing, he sought to alter what others understood as inevitable and inescapable. Drawing attention to Ouyi's unique reshaping of religious practice, Living Karma reasserts the significance of an overlooked individual in the modern development of Chinese Buddhism. While Buddhist studies scholarship tends to privilege textual analysis, Living Karma promotes a balanced study of ritual practice and writing, treating Ouyi's texts as ritual objects and his reading and writing as religious acts. Each chapter addresses a specific religious practice-writing, divination, repentance, vows, and bodily rituals-offering first a diachronic overview of each practice within the history of Chinese Buddhism and then a synchronic analysis of each phenomenon through close readings of Ouyi's work. This book sheds much-needed light on a little-known figure and his representation of karma, which proved to be a seminal innovation in the religious thought of late imperial China. 410 0$aSheng Yen series in Chinese Buddhist studies. 606 $aKarma 606 $aSpiritual life$xBuddhism 606 $aBuddhist literature, Chinese$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aKarma. 615 0$aSpiritual life$xBuddhism. 615 0$aBuddhist literature, Chinese$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a294.3/92092 700 $aMcGuire$b Beverley Foulks$01653948 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813700603321 996 $aLiving karma$94005492 997 $aUNINA
