Samenvatting
Social media became a defining feature of the new China after the late 1980s. That is also the time when Han Buddhism was offered a new public visibility and engaged in a modernizing process that has influenced modalities of preaching and practice. Nevertheless, Buddhism is still framed within the official scheme and must “serve the Party.” This renewed and yet politically constrained environment is where the monk Dingkong (1976–present) has been educated and is now preaching.
