Summary:"This volume is the first extended scholarly treatment of Buddhism in the Sung to be published in a Western language. It focuses largely on elite figures, elite traditions, and interactions among Buddhists and literati, although some of the book's essays touch on ways in which elite traditions both responded to and helped shape more popular forms of lay practice and piety
All of the chapters in one way or another deal with the two most important elite traditions within Sung Buddhism: Ch'an and T'ien-t'ai."--BOOK JACKET
