Abstract: despite the severe limitations imposed by his materials. If it is not quite as fascinatingly informative as his Practice of Chinese Buddhism or as zestfully narrated as The Buddhist Revival in China, it is probably the most thoughtprovoking and immediately relevant member of this trilogy, which, now complete, will surely stand for many years to come as a monument to Mr Welch's unique brand of dedicated, conscientious scholarship.
