Creation Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) There doesn't seem to be nearly as much information about Chinese Buddhism floating around the internet as there is about Theravada, Japanese, and Tibetan Buddhism. So I was pleased to find this nice short survey of the history of Buddhism in China, up through the founding of Tiantai, Huayan, and Chan.  Buddhism in China: A Historical Survey  There is a lot of great stuff about the early interaction of Buddhism and Taoism, the influence of The Awakening of Faith, and Chinese Madhyamaka, which I didn't even know existed. It is very brief indeed (e.g. no mention of Faxian, Yijing, or Paramartha, very little mention of Pure Land), but it does as well as a 13 page survey can. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
