  • Open 1-Mingyuan Chen Master-Thesis Final Submission.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Health and Human Development THE ENVIRONMENTAL ATTITUDES, TRAVEL MOTIVATIONS AND EXPERIENCE EVALUATIONS OF TOURISTS IN CHINA A Thesis in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management by Mingyuan Chen © 2015 Mingyuan Chen Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2015 The thesis of Mingyuan Chen was reviewed and approved* by the following: Deborah L. Kerstetter Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management and Professor-in- Charge of Graduate Studies Thesis Adviser Carter A. Hunt Assistant Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Andrew J. Mowen Associate Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Researchers have argued that tourists who visit ecotourism destinations differ from tourists who visit non-ecotourism destinations in multiple ways, including their environmental attitudes, travel motivations, and evaluations of the destination. However, few have conducted studies with these two groups of tourists simultaneously. Thus, the purpose of this study was to contrast the environmental attitudes, travel motivations and evaluations of tourists visiting one ecotourism destination—Cangshanerhai Natural Reserve (CNR) in Dali, China—with those of tourists visiting one of three non-ecotourism destinations in China. An on-site survey and follow-up interviews were used to address the study purpose. The results revealed that tourists visiting ecotourism destinations are fairly similar to tourists visiting non- ecotourism destinations in terms of their environmental attitudes and ecotourism travel motivations. Tourists visiting ecotourism destinations do not universally possess favorable environmental attitudes and their travel motivations are diverse, including both ecotourism travel motivations and non-ecotourism travel motivations.

  • Knowing the Paths of Pilgrimage the Network of Pilgrimage Routes in Nineteenth-Century China
    review of Religion and chinese society 3 (2016) 189-222 Knowing the Paths of Pilgrimage The Network of Pilgrimage Routes in Nineteenth-Century China Marcus Bingenheimer Temple University [email protected] Abstract In the early nineteenth century the monk Ruhai Xiancheng 如海顯承 traveled through China and wrote a route book recording China’s most famous pilgrimage routes. Knowing the Paths of Pilgrimage (Canxue zhijin 參學知津) describes, station by station, fifty-six pilgrimage routes, many converging on famous mountains and urban centers. It is the only known route book that was authored by a monk and, besides the descriptions of the routes themselves, Knowing the Paths contains information about why and how Buddhists went on pilgrimage in late imperial China. Knowing the Paths was published without maps, but by geo-referencing the main stations for each route we are now able to map an extensive network of monastic pilgrimage routes in the nineteenth century. Though most of the places mentioned are Buddhist sites, Knowing the Paths also guides travelers to the five marchmounts, popular Daoist sites such as Mount Wudang, Confucian places of worship such as Qufu, and other famous places. The routes in Knowing the Paths traverse not only the whole of the country’s geogra- phy, but also the whole spectrum of sacred places in China. Keywords Knowing the Paths of Pilgrimage – pilgrimage route book – Qing Buddhism – Ruhai Xiancheng – “Ten Essentials of Pilgrimage” 初探«參學知津»的19世紀行腳僧人路線網絡 摘要 十九世紀早期，如海顯承和尚在遊歷中國後寫了一本關於中國一些最著名 的朝聖之路的路線紀錄。這本「參學知津」（朝聖之路指引）一站一站地

  • Records of the Transmission of the Lamp (Jingde Chuadeng
    The Hokun Trust is pleased to support the fifth volume of a complete translation of this classic of Chan (Zen) Buddhism by Randolph S. Whitfield. The Records of the Transmission of the Lamp is a religious classic of the first importance for the practice and study of Zen which it is hoped will appeal both to students of Buddhism and to a wider public interested in religion as a whole. Contents Foreword by Albert Welter Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Appendix to the Introduction Abbreviations Book Eighteen Book Nineteen Book Twenty Book Twenty-one Finding List Bibliography Index Foreword The translation of the Jingde chuandeng lu (Jingde era Record of the Transmission of the Lamp) is a major accomplishment. Many have reveled in the wonders of this text. It has inspired countless numbers of East Asians, especially in China, Japan and Korea, where Chan inspired traditions – Chan, Zen, and Son – have taken root and flourished for many centuries. Indeed, the influence has been so profound and pervasive it is hard to imagine Japanese and Korean cultures without it. In the twentieth century, Western audiences also became enthralled with stories of illustrious Zen masters, many of which are rooted in the Jingde chuandeng lu. I remember meeting Alan Ginsburg, intrepid Beat poet and inveterate Buddhist aspirant, in Shanghai in 1985. He had been invited as part of a literary cultural exchange between China and the U. S., to perform a series of lectures for students at Fudan University, where I was a visiting student. Eager to meet people who he could discuss Chinese Buddhism with, I found myself ushered into his company to converse on the subject.

AHN i Preface to The Collected Works of Korean Buddhism At the start of the twenty-first century, humanity looked with hope on the dawning of a new millennium. A decade later, however, the global village still faces the continued reality of suffering, whether it is the slaughter of innocents in politically volatile regions, the ongoing economic crisis that currently roils the world financial system, or repeated natural disasters. Buddhism has always taught that the world is inherently unstable and its teachings are rooted in the perception of the three marks that govern all conditioned existence: impermanence, suffering, and non-self.

The Records of the Transmission of the Lamp is a religious classic of the first importance for the practice and study of Zen which it is hoped will appeal both to students of Buddhism and to a wider public interested in religion as a whole. Contents Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Abbreviations Book Four Book Five Book Six Book Seven Book Eight Book Nine Finding List Bibliography Index Reden ist übersetzen – aus einer Engelsprache in eine Menschensprache, das heist, Gedanken in Worte, – Sachen in Namen, – Bilder in Zeichen. Johann Georg Hamann, Aesthetica in nuce. Eine Rhapsodie in kabbalistischer Prosa. 1762. Preface The doyen of Buddhism in England, Christmas Humphreys (1901- 1983), once wrote in his book, Zen Buddhism, published in 1947, that ‘The “transmission” of Zen is a matter of prime difficulty…Zen… is ex hypothesi beyond the intellect…’1 Ten years later the Japanese Zen priest Sohaku Ogata (1901-1973) from Chotoko-in, in the Shokufuji Temple compound in Kyoto came to visit the London Buddhist Society that Humphreys had founded in the 1920s. The two men had met in Kyoto just after the Second World War. Sohaku Ogata’s ambition was to translate the whole of the Song dynasty Chan (Zen) text Records of the Transmission of the Lamp (hereafter CDL), which has never been fully translated into any language (except modern Chinese), into English. Before his death Sohaku Ogata managed to translate the first ten books of this mammoth work.2 The importance of this compendium had not gone unnoticed.
