Early Chinese Buddhist Translations
International Symposium
While Buddhist texts in Indian languages have been meticulously studied and the Tibetan translations of Buddhist texts have been used to investigate texts no longer available in the original Indian language(s), Chinese Buddhist texts and translations, especially early ones, have not been as intensively examined in the West. The symposium will convene Western and Asian scholars working in the field of early Buddhist Chinese texts (2nd until early 5th century). It will represent various aspects of the research done in this field during the last two decades: the comparison of Indian and Chinese texts; the study of the translation techniques of individual translators or groups or of complete sets of texts; and the texts' impact on the receiving culture (indianisation vs. sinisation).
