| Abstract | Texts related to healing are abundant in the Chinese Buddhist corpus, with
hundreds of relevant treatises or chapters extant today from all periods of
Chinese history. Generations of authors from the medieval period to the
present day have ascribed a great degree of importance to codifying and
anthologizing this particular area of Buddhist knowledge. This paper discusses
the organizational categories and textual canons that have predominated in
this exegetical tradition. I outline the emergence of the first syntheses in the
medieval period, continuities in later authors’ treatment of the topic, and the
modification of those approaches to fit with modern scientific medicine. I then
critique the reinscription of these exegetical approaches in Western
scholarship, and identify several ways to move beyond these traditional
categories and canons in future research.
