[quote=CHYNAGYRL,229204]Can you tell me if Buddhism is still a very commonly practiced religion in China? I think it is a big part of Chinese culture but not sure how many people actually practice it. I heard that the Diamond Sutra was the first printed book in the world (in China) -- and it sounds like an interesting book I would like to study it this summer. Is it difficult to read? (esp in Chinese). I'm kind of a dummy in Mandarin -- although I can read more than half of a Chinese newspaper. I'm interested in learning more about the Vajrayana school (which the Diamond Sutra is the bible) -- that Tibetan Buddhism -- since I'm planning to visit Tibet in the next few years. That, and learning how to meditate and quiet my mind to become a more peaceful person :-) If you can tell me more that would be great. [/quote]
