The content of the writings involves the development of the history of Buddhism, especially the history of Zen Buddhism, the authenticity verification of Buddhist classics, the lives of eminent monks, etc. These writings demonstrate Hu Shi's fundamental understanding of Buddhism and are the best introductory books for the public to sort out the history of the development of Buddhism.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! Mr. Hu Shi used doubt and textual research as methods to study Buddhism and came to many refreshing conclusions. The history of the development of Buddhism in the book is also very clear and is very suitable for beginners to read. I especially hate characters who are pretentious, but fortunately there are none in this book. Hu Shi said: "Study more problems and talk less about doctrines." This sentence is really insightful! I am deeply inspired.
The information is sufficient and the explanation is thorough.
