Type of Event: Workshop
This workshop aims at reconstructing medieval Japanese Buddhism beyond the sectarian borders that have hitherto shaped our understanding of its development. It will explore the dynamics of mutual influence that characterised the relation between different 'schools' at the institutional and individual level, and shed light on how these dynamics are reflected in both textual sources and distinctive practices.Programme
