Postponement in Perpetuality: the Buddha’s Prophecy of the End of Buddhism and Its Transmission in East Asia
Yi Liu
The Buddha prophesied his teachings would vanish a few hundred years after his passing, posing an existential dilemma for Chinese Buddhists on the brink of Buddhism's disappearance.
This book explores their centuries-long struggle with this prophecy and the unique East Asian Buddhist belief of mofa ('the final age of Buddhism') that emerged as a result.
