AbstractOne of the most striking trends in urban Chinese Buddhism is the adoption of elements of Tibetan Buddhism by ethnically Han Chinese Buddhists. The author offers a preliminary exploration of this phenomenon. Focusing on regular lay Buddhists, she describes the characteristics of Han involvement with Tibetan Buddhism and explores the reasons for this trend. The author combines a structural perspective that focuses on how Tibetan Buddhism is supplied in eastern cities with a cultural perspective that examines how the appeal of Tibetan Buddhism is constructed for a Han Chinese audience.

L’une des tendances les plus frappantes se dégageant du bouddhisme urbain de la Chine actuelle se situe dans son adoption d’éléments du bouddhisme tibétain par des bouddhistes chinois han. L’auteure propose une exploration de ce phénomène. Se fondant sur l’engagement de bouddhistes laïcs réguliers, elle décrit les caractéristiques de l’engagement han dans le bouddhisme tibétain et en examine les raisons. Pour ce faire, elle combine une perspective structurelle, qui éclaire les modalités de l’offre du bouddhisme tibétain dans les villes de Chine de l’Est, et une perspective culturelle qui permet d’examiner comment se construisent la perception et la fascination du public han pour le bouddhisme tibétain.
