Seeing through Zen: Encounter, Transformation, and Genealogy in Chinese Chan Buddhism
John R. Mcrae
The tradition of Chan Buddhism - more popularly known as Zen - has been romanticized throughout its history. This book shows how modern critical techniques make possible a more skeptical, accurate, and - ultimately - productive assessment of Chan lineages, teaching, fundraising practices, and social organization.
