This book introduces the reader to different cases of cultural intersections between Tibet and China in the field of Buddhism. The ten chapters provide a series of insights into Sino-Tibetan exchanges within religious practices and doctrines, material culture and iconography.Spanning from pre-modern encounters in Central Asia to contemporary forms of Sino-Tibetan hybridity in Chinese-speaking environments, Sino-Tibetan Buddhism Across the Ages produces further evidence that, beginning with the very introduction of Buddhism into Tibet, there were constant and fruitful contacts and blending between the Buddhist traditions developing in China and those of Tibet.Contributors are Urs App, Ester Bianchi, Isabelle Charleux, Martino Dibeltulo Concu, Alison Denton Jones, Weirong Shen, Penghao Sun, Wei Wu, Fan Zhang, and Linghui Zhang.

"The running theme of each individual chapter in this volume is that from the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet to the present day, there has been constant and beneficial contacts as well as melding between the various Buddhist traditions developed in China and Tibet. With each chapteroffering a fascinating insight into this running thread, this volume would prove deeply interesting to those with an interest in either Chinese or Tibetan Buddhism. More broadly, this volume would also be of interest to those interested in crosscultural religious interaction."- Joseph Chadwin, Religious Studies Review 47/4 (2021)
