摘要
Qian Qianyi (1582–1664) was a prominent late Ming scholar-official who fashioned himself as a Buddhist in the early Qing. Despite Qian’s claims that he had taken refuge in Buddhism, however, fellow literati close to him still inclined to emphasize his other identities fostered by a classical Confucian education—poet, scholar, and politician. Focusing on Qian’s commentary on the Shoulengyan jing, i.e., the Suramgama Sutra, and his compilation of Hanshan Deqing’s (1546–1623) anthology, this paper unravels Qian’s efforts in promoting Buddhism and documenting its history. It brings to light Qian Qianyi’s hitherto overshadowed Buddhist endeavors, their historiographical and historical implications, as well as the complexities of interreligious dynamics during the Ming-Qing Transition.
