Über den Autor


The author/translator has previously published a ground-breaking translation of The Discourse on Realizing There is Only the Virtual Nature of Consciousness (Vijnapti Matrata Siddhi, ??) by Xuanzang, an essential text of East Asian Buddhism from the School on the Practice of Engaged Meditation (Yogacara). The author has also published an in-depth study of The Heart Sutra (Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra, ????) that includes translation of all versions of it in the East Asian Buddhist canon, translations of renowned commentaries on it by Fazang (of the Chinese Huayan School) and Kukai (of the Japanese Shingon School) as well as several essays from masters of the Huayan School on the seamless interpenetration found between the grace descending from the Buddha's spiritual life and the phenomena that constitute the mutually dependent conditions arising from sentient existence.
