5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding scholarship again in print!, January 9, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Northern School and the Formation of Early Chan Buddhism (Studies in East Asian Buddhism) (Hardcover)
I don't know why it hasn't made it into Amazon's inventory yet, so I thought I'd mention that this much cited and excellent piece of scholarship by Indiana University's John McRae is again in print: available in cloth for 42 USD online from University of Hawaii Press. (Sorry, but Amazon does not permit URLs in reviews--just Google to the press's website.)

McRae has a "Southern School" book in the works to look forward to--Zen Evangelist: Shenhui (684-758), Sudden Enlightenment, and the Southern School of Chinese Chan Buddhism.
