AbstractModern scholarship has revealed that many of the most important Chinese Buddhist scriptures are not translations of Indian texts, as they purport to be,but actually composed in China by Chinese authors. Such indigenous, or "apocryphal," scriptures, are the subject of this volume. The studies compiled here address the role that apocryphal scriptures can play in documenting the social and political forces influencing Chinese religion and show the Buddhist canon to be not a fixed repository,but a fluctuating,tension-filled institution.
