3rd Annual Buddhism in China Program
July 1 to July 15, 2011
The 2011 program takes Sichuan as its focus and is operated in collaboration with local administrative offices. In addition to Mount Emei, this year’'s itinerary includes the Great Buddha at Leshan, the Dazu Grottoes, various sites in Chengdu (the Zhaojue Temple, the Manjusri Temple, Dufu’s Cottage, the Zhuge Liang Shrine, Qingyang Abbey, etc), Chongqing (Huayan and Luohan Temples), and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in and around Kangding. Through personal tours of these locations, participants gain on-the-ground knowledge of the history and diversity of Buddhism in China, its relationship to other cultural institutions, and its ongoing vitality. Special attention is given to introducing participants to potential sources and avenues for research and to promoting interaction with Chinese scholars.
