Product Details

Product Description

Robert M. Gimello, Professor of East Asian Studies and Religious Studies, University of Arizona

"This fine translation...is a most welcome addition to the small English language archives of modern Chinese Buddhism.... The foremost leader of Chinese Buddhism's intellectual resurgence, the monk Yin-shun is both a scholar and an original thinker of the first order. Drawing upon the whole broad range of Buddhist thought-but especially upon the Madhyamaka tradition of Nagarjuna, Candrakirti, and Tsongkhapa-The Way to Buddhahood presents itself as an introductory overview of the essentials of Buddhism. It is that, of course, but it is also much more. It plots a course for Buddhism's future development that will allow its robust engagement with the modern world without forcing the severance of its traditional roots."


Product Description

The first in-depth explanation of Chinese Buddhism by Yin-shun, the greatest living master of the Chinese scholar-monk tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Approach, Sep 27 2001
By A Customer
Yin-Shun's work provides a resource to look deeply into the tradition of Buddhism. In only a few hundred pages, he outlines the reason for seeking refuge in the teachings of the Buddha, fundmamental views of Buddhism, varying traditions of Buddhist doctrine, the different methods of practice, and uses countless examples to illuminate the insight that all the teachings as a whole can bring. In a straightfoward and impartial manner, Yin-Shun clearly writes of the strengths and weaknesses of varying approaches to the Buddhadharma, the beneficial effects of practice and harmful effects of common misconceptions and misguided practice.

It seems that every corner of Buddhism is touched upon, to provide solid direction for the interested person or the advanced practicioner.

His writings are so clear and deep, that I held my head in awe of the understanding and compassion of the Dharma. If anything, this book can inspire a sense of humility and respect for the suffering of ourselves and others, of which we can learn to liberate with the direct experience of realization guided by the helpful teachings of compassionate leaders like Yin-Shun.

5.0 out of 5 stars For every Ch'an bookshelf, May 2 2000
By Hermit "Now&Zen" (Winona, MS United States) - See all my reviews
The only thing I can add to Gimello's expert opinion of Yin-Shun's scholarship is that his learning is penetrated with the deep and numerous insights that come only from dedicated and knowledgeable practice.
