The editor ... intends to introduce not just new studies, but a new field of study.... However, rather than marking the birth of Buddhist apocrypha studies, the book ... successfully demonstrates its early maturity." --Monumenta Serica 40 (1992) "The essays are without exception meticulous in scholarship and path-finding in significance." --Journal of Chinese Religions 20 (1992)Buswell, Robert E., Jr. is the author of 'Chinese Buddhist Apocrypha The Marga And Its Transformations In Buddhist Thought' with ISBN 9780824812539 and ISBN 0824812530.
