| Abstract | Focusing on the monastic core liturgy of the Buddhist daily service as a historically specific continuity, I explore the sentiments that constitute contemporary Chinese Buddhism, and the wider system of Buddhist organization that has established and sustained monastic life itself. The remarkable cultural identity of this ancient religious practice is made Possible through the practices of Chinese Buddhist monasticism and the liturgy's embodiment of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy. More important, the liturgy creates a ritual dialogue and governmentalized practice, in which the daily service has fashioned its specific form of culture and transformed the mental, spiritual, and behavioral attributes of people--all of which are not simply shifts in consciousness. Instead, each practice of maintenance and transformation needs policy, theory, and distinctive techniques to function and to achieve religious, social, and political ends. The musical practice of the daily service not only functions as a symbolic display of an authoritative Buddhist tradition, but also aims at transforming people through governmental utilization of ritual and doctrinal components to supply a condition for developing a desired discourse of the tradition.
I frame my dissertation in the way to present my argument about monastic utilization of the daily service: in theory, ritual practice, and social relationships. |
