What Reviewers Are Saying
In this study . . . Guo Cheen has made a substantial contribution to contemporary Buddhist Studies. Chengguan's commentaries on the Avatamsaka/Huayan Sutra were among the most important endeavors in Chinese Buddhist philosophy. Having them now available in English translation extends our realization that the philosophy of 'interrelatedness' is one of the greatest gifts from the Buddhist tradition to our moment in time. -- Dale S. Wright, Gamble Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies/Asian Studies, Occidental College
