Very little has been published to date on China's rich traditions of Buddhist meditation. Inspired by the need to increase meaningful spiritual dialogue between China and the West, modern meditation master Hsing Yun here brings this vast legacy to life in straightforward and engaging language. He begins by showing us the intimate connections between ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom and goes on to describe a variety of meditation techniques, drawing on the insights of the Ch'an (Zen), T'ien-t'ai, Hua-yen, and Pure land traditions. Professor McRae's introduction provides a helpful context for understanding Chinese Buddhism and Master Hsing Yun's place within it.
