The Way to Buddhahood: Instructions from a Modern Chinese Master

“Students of Buddhism will find this an important guide.”– “The Bookwatch”

“This book, which is a reflection of his long life of study, service and meditation, is a living testament to Yin-Shun’s spirituality and erudition. His interpretations bring freshness to the examination of Buddhist doctrine in a clear, compelling style.”– “The Beacon”

“This fine translation…is a most welcome addition to the small English language archives of modern Chinese Buddhism…. The foremost leader of Chinese Buddhism’s intellectual resurgence, the monk Yin-shun is both a scholar and an original thinker of the first order. Drawing upon the whole broad range of Buddhist thought–but especially upon the Madhyamaka tradition of Nagarjuna, Candrakirti, and Tsongkhapa–The Way to Buddhahood presents itself as an introductory overview of the essentials of Buddhism. It is that, of course, but it is also much more. It plots a course for Buddhism’s future development that will allow its robust engagement with the modern world without forcing the severance of its traditional roots.”–Robert M. Gimello, Professor of East Asian Languages and Culture, University of Notre Dame
