China is often perceived as an “atheist” country. Nonetheless, religions play an important role in China’s social, cultural, and intellectual life. Our colloquium will focus on multiple faces of Buddhism in China–from its impact on devoted novices, to its religious manifestations in urban and rural societies, to its ongoing intellectual appeal.
