| 摘要 | "Heart of Buddha, Heart of China is a gracefully written and deeply humane book, which weaves together the life story of a protean individual and the tale of a nation undergoing profound transformations. This is one of those rare books that I'll look forward to assigning to students and will also encourage friends about to travel to China to read--especially if their itinerary takes them through one or more of the various cities in which Tanxu lived and worked." --Jeffrey Wasserstrom, author of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know "James Carter's imaginative new book is a journey within a journey: the monk Tanxu's, to find a place for Buddhism in the war-torn chaos of modern China; and the author's, to find the echoes of the past in China's present. Carter's candid and evocative treatment of Tanxu's life reveals as much about the passions that drive the historian's research as it does about religion in modern China." --Stephen R. Platt, Associate Professor of History, The University of Massachusetts at Amherst "In this ingeniously structured book, James Carter uses the Buddhist monk Tanxu (1875-1963) as a guide to China's travails across one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Carter shows us how Tanxu's personal quests for enlightenment intersected with his knowledge of life amongst foreigners, his experiences in five separate wars, and his vision that the construction of temples offered China an opportunity for spiritual and national regeneration." ---Jonathan Spence, author of The Search for Modern China |
