Kieschnick John. A Primer in Chinese Buddhist Writings

2014, 2015 — 156 + 47 + 82 +30 + 203 + 62 + 154 с.These are materials I have compiled for students and scholars to learn to read Buddhist texts in Chinese. The first volume does not assume any knowledge of Chinese, but may be of use to even advanced readers of classical Chinese unfamiliar with Buddhist texts. The second volume builds on the first, continuing to focus on texts originating in India. The third volume introduces texts composed in China.I have also provided a supplement with a selection of Mahayana texts.This is very much a work in progress; suggestions for improvement are welcome.Volume 1: Foundations
