Ouyang believed that authentic Indian Buddhism was an alternative to the prevalent Chinese Buddhist doctrines of his time. Aviv shows how Ouyang's rhetoric of authenticity won the movement well-known admirers but also influential critics. This debate shaped modern intellectual history in China and has lost none of its relevancy today"-- Provided by publisher Notes Description based upon print version of record 3 Ouyang's Later Buddhist Thought Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Ouyang, Jian, 1871-1943.
