By far one of the most important objects of worship in the Buddhist traditions, the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is regarded as the embodiment of compassion. He has been widely revered throughout the Buddhist countries of Asia since the early centuries of the Common Era. While he was closely identified with the royalty in South and Southeast Asia, and the Tibetans continue to this day to view the Dalai Lamas as his incarnations, in China he became a she -- Kuan-yin, the "Goddess of Mercy" -- and has a very different history. The causes and processes of this metamorphosis have perplexed Buddhist scholars for centuries. In this groundbreaking, comprehensive study, Chun-fang Yu discusses this dramatic transformation of the (male) Indian bodhisattva Avalokitesvara into the (female) Chinese Kuan-yin -- from a relatively minor figure in the Buddha's retinue to a universal savior and one of the most popular deities in Chinese religion. Focusing on the various media through which the feminine Kuan-yin became constructed and domesticated in China, Yu thoroughly examines Buddhist scriptures, miracle stories, pilgrimages, popular literature, and monastic and local gazetteers -- as well as the changing iconography reflected in Kuan-yin's images and artistic representations -- to determine the role this material played in this amazing transformation. The book eloquently depicts the domestication of Kuan-yin as a case study of the indigenization of Buddhism in China and illuminates the ways this beloved deity has affected the lives of all Chinese people down the ages.
Chün-fang Yü is professor and chair of the Department of Religion at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
實在是佛教研究的門外漢,看得似懂非懂。
評分Led reading discussion of chapter 8 in Prof. Grant's class. It offered a clear account of the gender transformation of the Bodhisattva from the outlandish Indian Avalokitesvara to the domesticated Chinese legend of Princess Miaoshan. I especially like that Prof. Yu related Kuanyin worship to Dorothy Ko's "domestic religiosity." Rocommended
評分Domestication? Is this term legitimate in this case?

評分本书作者花了15年的时间,写了这部超过500页的巨著以阐释一个问题:印度佛教中象征慈悲与王权的阿婆卢吉低舍婆罗,是如何在中国由男变女,由佛教进入民间,变成家喻户晓的观音菩萨的。鉴于观音在中国信仰体系中的重要地位,这当然是一个引人注目的课题,不过对于我等门外的闲汉...
