PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Charles B. Jones is Professor at The Catholic University of America, USA.
[A]n excellent contribution to the study of Chinese Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, and the nuances of the republican peri- od. The work's quality lies in its uncompromising attempt to highlight complexities without setting them straight. The nuanced, almost vivid picture the reader receives of Taixu is inspiring. The book is a lesson in methodology and critical thinking for historians, religious scholars, and scholars of philosophy in China (and beyond). Aside from these qualities, I see this book as a great informative reader about Pure Land Buddhism, suitable for advanced researchers and students. * H-Net Reviews * Charles B. Jones provides an excellent study of the work of one of the most important Chinese Buddhist figures, Taixu, who was highly influential in the development of modern Chinese Buddhism and the globally important idea of Buddhism for Human Life. Jones exposes the complexity of Taixu-simultaneously a traditional Buddhist monk, and a reformist modernizer. * Richard K. Payne, Institute of Buddhist Studies, Berkeley, USA *
