Abstract: Scholars have paid a great deal of attention not only to Buddhism itself but also to its complicated interactions with local societies. This is especially the case with Buddhism in late imperial China. This conference will honour Professor Timothy Brook who has created influential and lasting approaches to the field from sociological and regional perspectives, especially in his examination of gentry patronage of Buddhism in the Jiangnan region.
