Paper Summary:
This paper explains that the question of faith versus practice is an ongoing debate within China. The author points out that, whereas the emphasis in Japan on faith is pronounced, the same issue is a problem in China. The paper relates that most Chinese masters emphasize practice, which is very detailed and broken down.From the Paper:
"Along with China, three other regions are involved in the development of the Pure Land tradition. Buddhism originated in India and central Asia; then in 119 BC, China came into contact with Buddhism when the country "learned for the first time of a strange country called Tien Cho, known today as India" (Hsu 3). When the Pure Land tradition reached Japan, the very tenets of the faith underwent modifications and adaptations. However, the question of faith versus practice also resulted in ongoing debate within China."More papers on Buddhism: Faith versus Practice:
