Abstract

This paper explores the process of the deification of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, focusing on its localization in the Chinese context. It provides an analysis of the background and significance of this phenomena, examines the objectives and motivations behind the deification of Buddhism, and investigates the methods employed during this process. The study also presents the findings of an extensive examination of various historical records and artifacts related to the deification of Buddhism, highlighting the key results and outcomes of this research. Based on the analysis of the collected data, this paper draws conclusions about the impact and implications of the localization of foreign religion, specifically Buddhism, in the Tang Dynasty.
