The text that he has translated in Hui-Yuan's Commentary on the Sutra of Visualization on the Buddha of Immeasurable Life, which is not only the oldest extant commentary on this sutra, but also the key text in the history of Pure Land Buddhism in China. In light of the growing interest in Pure Land Buddhism, this translation is truly a timely one. The translation, as well as the discussion on historical and doctrinal issues, is excellent.\" - Sung bae Park, State University of New york at Stony Brook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"The author has captured the spirit and has analyzed the various ideas that the founders of Chinese Pure Land School had to work with. His perception of the roles of these scholars, their interaction, and their challenges are insightful. The book presents the whole Chinese Pure Land Buddhist movement of its inception. Hui-yuan's role is amply documented and shows his influence on other scholars, notably Shan-tao. The work also exhibits the extensive research and writings by modern Japanese scholars in the field\" - Kenneth K.
