Publications such as Essential Buddhist Texts for Laypeople were an important means of communicating religious teachings and new ideas to Buddhists throughout the Chinese-reading world.

Bibliography and Publishing are two important topics in the history of Modern Chinese Buddhism. New material and social technologies allowed Buddhists to produce texts in much greater numbers than before. The content of the texts was also geared to the modern age, with introductory textbooks, commentaries, and treaties on Buddhism produced on a massive scale.

Gregory Adam Scott is the section editor for bibliographical articles.
