4Temporality and Non-temporality in Li Tongxuan’s Huayan BuddhismIn Youru Wang & Sandra A. Wawrytko (eds.), Dao Companion to Chinese Buddhist Philosophy: Dharma and Dao, Springer Verlag. pp. 325-347. 2017.This chapter discusses the Huayan Buddhism of Li Tongxuan. At the core of his Buddhism is the claim that sentient beings are equipped with exactly the same qualities as the Buddha. In his analysis of the 80-fascicle version of the Huayan Jing, Li claims that Huayan teaching is a subitist teaching that proposes the awakening in this lifetime. In this context, unlike “orthodox” Huayan thinkers, Li claims that the chapter “Entering the Realm of Reality” is the core of the Huayan Jing and that Sudha…Read more

43Philosophizing and Power: East–West Encounter in the Formation of Modern East Asian Buddhist PhilosophyPhilosophy East and West 67 (3): 801-824. 2017.Philosophy claims that its goal is to search for truth. The history of philosophy, however, demonstrates that this search for truth has not been free from the power dynamics of respective eras. In this article, I claim that the formation of modern East Asian philosophy is one occasion in which the power structure of the time was visibly reflected. The East–West power imbalance at the beginning of the modern period was both implicitly and explicitly imbedded in the formation of modern Buddhist ph…Read more
