Lu Qing attended a concert by the King of Music, only to unexpectedly travel to a zombie world, where he awakened the Supreme Fishing System! From the Pool of Myriad Worlds, he fished the heavens! His journey began with becoming a disciple of Master Ikkyu, receiving the Dharma name Xuankong! By slaying demons and evil spirits, he could gain fortune points! He started by fishing for the roots and talent of the One-Page Book of the Divine and Demon World of Thunderbolt, with matchless talent and genius! Then, he fished the Great Power Heavenly Dragon's true skill: Great Power Heavenly Dragon! World-Honored Ksitigarbha! Mami Mami Hong! He fished the Tathagata Divine Palm! The Buddha descended to the world, leveling the human realm! The Heaven-Flipping Divine Palm subdued ten thousand ghosts! He fished the Lotus Sacred Path, opening the Heavenly Light! The indestructible body of the Tathagata! All demons perished, and he remained unharmed! He fished the divine technique Nine Brahma Divine Seal, empowered by the Twelve Celestial Guards and the Eight Dragon Gods' Fire! Lu Qing roamed through the zombie world, the Liaozhai world, the Sword of Immortality world, and the Primordial world… From that moment on, the myriad worlds had a new figure — the Evil-Heart Demon Buddha, known as the most violent monk of Buddhism, the unrivaled force in martial strength! 'Mountains can be uprooted, rivers can be severed, but I, Xuankong, cannot be opposed!'

The history of Buddhism has been characterized by an ongoing tension between attempts to preserve traditional ideals and modes of practice and the need to adapt to changing cultural conditions. Many developments in Buddhist history, such as the infusion of esoteric rituals, the rise of devotionalism and lay movements, and the assimilation of warrior practices, reflect the impact of widespread social changes on traditional religious structures. At the same time, Buddhism has been able to maintain its doctrinal purity to a remarkable degree. This volume explores how traditional Buddhist communities have responded to the challenges of modernity, such as science and technology, colonialism, and globalization. Editors Steven Heine and Charles S. Prebish have commissioned ten essays by leading scholars, each examining a particular traditional Buddhist school in its cultural context. The essays consider how the encounter with modernity has impacted the disciplinary, textual, ritual, devotional, practical, and socio-political traditions of Buddhist thought throughout Asia. Taken together, these essays reveal the diversity and vitality of contemporary Buddhism and offer a wide-ranging look at the way Buddhism interacts with the modern world.

Daisetsu Teitar? ̄ Suzuki was a key figure in the introduction of Buddhism to the non-Asian world. Many outside Japan encountered Buddhism for the first time through his writings and teaching, and for nearly a century his work and legacy have contributed to the ongoing religious and cultural interchange between Japan and the rest of the world, particularly the United States and Europe. This fourth volume of Selected Works of D. T. Suzuki brings together a range of Suzuki’s writings in the area of Buddhist studies. Based on his text-critical work in the Chinese canon, these essays reflect his commitment to clarifying Mahayana Buddhist doctrines in Indian, Chinese, and Japanese historical contexts. Many of these innovative writings reflect Buddhological discourse in contemporary Japan and the West’s pre-war ignorance of Mahayana thought. Included is a translation into English for the first time of his "Mahayana Was Not Preached by Buddha." In addition to editing the essays and contributing the translation, Mark L. Blum presents an introduction that examines how Suzuki understood Mahayana discourse via Chinese sources and analyzes his problematic use of Sanskrit.
