    HUAIGAN AND THE GROWTH OF PURE LAND BUDDHISM DURING THE TANG ERA By KENDALL R. MARCHMAN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Kendall R. Marchman To my family ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would have not been possible were it not for the many loving family members, friends, and mentors who have supported me throughout my life. I would like to take a moment to highlight just a few of the many people and institutions who have helped me reach this goal. I would first like to thank all of the professors with whom I have studied during my time at Mercer, Vanderbilt, and the University of Florida. I also extend thanks to my new colleagues at Young Harris College for the encouragement and opportunity they have provided. I am very thankful to my dissertation committee, Mario Poceski, Jimmy Yu, Richard Wang, Guolong Lai, and Whitney Sanford for their patience, inspiration, and support. One day in class Jimmy Yu mentioned that Huaigan and the Qunyi lun needed further research, and I am thankful that he suggested them as the subjects of my dissertation. I am obliged to Dr. Poceski who took me in as a raw graduate student and has been essential in my process to become a better scholar, though this process is far from complete. Many thanks to Travis Smith who provided encouragement and advice throughout this process. I would also like to thank Richard King who encouraged my evolving interests in Asian religions while at Vanderbilt.
