| Abstract | My research on Buddhism has largely been concerned with the localisation of Buddhist institutions, that is, their situatedness within the immediate society, economy, and culture of where they existed. To pursue that research, I drew on the evidence of local texts (such as gazetteers) as well as pilgrimage texts. I now wonder whether my use of sources was too promiscuous in overriding the differences between local worshippers who organised their lives around one particular religious institution, and pilgrims who toured a site only once. Did the difference in their experience of place entail a different understanding of Buddhism, and if so, was it simply the difference between popular and elite religion, or was it something else? To explore this problem, which I will call tourist Buddhism, I examine the treatment of three sites in the standard Qing Buddhist pilgrimage handbook, Canxue zhijin 參學知津 [Knowing the Fords on the Way to Knowledge], comparing these accounts with locally-based documentation in order to explore the subtle and unstable relationship between local Buddhism and translocal religion. |
