Description
Contrary to the Buddhism in the Koryo period, Buddhism in the early Choson period suffered from a great deal of suppression. The society was dominated by the Confucian elite, and little power or financial resources were available to the Buddhists. This volume explores the decline as well as the transformation of the religion in this time period.
