Synopsis "Performing Enlightenment. Buddhism and Theater in Early Modern China"

In Performing Enlightenment, Mengxiao Wang argues that the late Ming and early Qing Buddhists in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries resolved their conflict between religion and worldly entertainment by transforming playwriting, stage performance, and theatergoing into a creative mode of devotional practice.
