Rezensionen
"One can wholeheartedly agree that it was timely and wise on the part of the Dao Companions to gather some of the best current experts on the various subfields of Japanese Buddhist philosophy in order to contribute to creating a finely detailed, most accurate picture of how Buddhist thought has been shaped by, and is still shaping ... . characteristically religious discourse that merits the attention of the general reader curious about the Asian religious cultural heritage." (Lehel Balogh, Religious Studies Review, VOl. 45 (4), December, 2019)
