Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Celestial and His Religions; Or, the Religious Aspect in China: Being a Series of Lectures on the Religious of the Chinese These lectures were delivered at the Young Men's Christian Associaton in Hongkong in the Spring of this year. A few additions and alterations have been made to them before publication. In short lectures of this kind there must be much condensation on many points and many omissions. The aim has been to try and present a short account of what these different systems in China have been, and are, and enough of their doctrines, beliefs, and results, so as to enable those who have not the time or opportunity to delve deeper to gain some knowledge of these marvellous and wonderful schemes of philosophy, atheism, idolatry, and self righteousness, combined with nicer traits of character and gentler sides of human nature and with occasional lovely touches - all mixed up in China at the present day with the grossest superstitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guiding themes of Chinese religion as it is actually lived! This short work explains basic ideas and practices of Chinese religions in direct and simple language, with many examples and analogies for increased understanding. Its basic assumption is that religion is best understood as an aspect of everyday lifeas something that makes sense to those who practice iteven if outsiders might be puzzled at first. While Overmyers treatment focuses on traditional China before the twentieth century, many of the beliefs and practices described are still alive, at least in some Chinese communities. While the basic concern of this book is, first, to understand Chinese religions in their own right, it takes the additional step of exploring what modern students might learn from them.

This book was released on 2010-08-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring a time of profound change, this book details the intellectual ferment after the fall of the Han dynasty. Questions about "heaven" and the affairs of the world that had seemed resolved by Han Confucianism resurfaced and demanded reconsideration. New currents in philosophy, religion, and intellectual life emerged to leave an indelible mark on the subsequent development of Chinese thought and culture. This period saw the rise of xuanxue ("dark learning" or "learning of the mysterious Dao"), the establishment of religious Daoism, and the rise of Buddhism. In examining the key ideas of xuanxue and focusing on its main proponents, the contributors to this volume call into question the often-presumed monolithic identity of this broad philosophical front. The volume also highlights the richness and complexity of religion in China during this period, examining the relationship between the Way of the Celestial Master and local, popular religious beliefs and practices, and discussing the relationship between religious Daoism and Buddhism.

Book excerpt: Throughout history, China has been the home and destination of many religious and philosophical traditions. Confucianism and Taoism, in addition to Buddhism, are the so-called "three doctrines" or teachings, which have played an important role in shaping Chinese culture.The elements of these three belief systems are incorporated into the traditional Chinese religion, that is, worship devoted to local gods and ancestors; this has always been - and continues to be - the religion of the majority of the population, family-oriented and not requiring exclusive adherence, which allows the practice or expression of personal beliefs of different faiths at the same time.Some scholars prefer not to use the term "religion" in reference to Chinese belief systems, suggesting instead that it be "cultural practices", "systems of thought" and philosophies as their most appropriate definition. While Confucianism in its religious aspect corresponds to the traditional religion of worship of local gods and ancestors, Taoism has developed as an ecclesiastical movement distinct from the common religion since the 1st or 2nd century. Buddhism was introduced in the 1st century and grew to have a strong impact in China, which it still preserves today.Today's Chinese state officially recognizes five religions, managed through centralized institutions: Buddhism, Taoism, Protestantism, Catholicism, and Islam. Traditional religion in all its forms, even if not centralized at the bureaucratic level, enjoys freedom. According to statistics 70% of Chinese people practiced traditional religion, including 13% who practiced traditional cults in a Taoist doctrinal or ritual framework or popular religions influenced by Taoism, while those who identified themselves only as initiated "Taoists" were 0,8% (the term "Taoist" in China is traditionally reserved only for Taoist priests or those who undertake direct discipleship under their leadership, and is not traditionally extended to the multitude of lay followers). The adherents to Buddhism were 14%, and of these the formally initiated Buddhists formed 1.3%. Christians were 2.4%, of whom 2.2% were Protestants and 0.2% were Catholics. Muslims were 1.7%. The remaining 13% of the population was not religious (they were atheist, agnostic or had not declared any preference). Confucianism as a religious designation is popular among intellectuals, although there are various popular movements of Confucian origin.
