Patrons and Patriarchs: Chan Monks and Regional Rulers During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms - Kuroda Studies in East Asian Buddhism
Benjamin Brose
Breaks new ground in the study of clergy-court relations during the tumultuous period that spanned the collapse of the Tang dynasty (618-907) and the consolidation of the Northern Song (960-1127). The book describes how the formation of new states in southeastern China elevated local Buddhist traditions and moved Chan (Zen) monks from the margins to the centre of Chinese society.
