Origin, Development and Transmission By Kogen Mizuno
The origin and development of the sutras, and the story of the travelling monks who transmitted them to new lands. Because of China`s significance in the history of Buddhism, the story of the transmission of the sutras to China is a particularly fascinating and important one.
Related here are the hardships and achievements of the early translators of Chinese Buddhist scripture and of the intrepid pilgrims who journeyed to India to take additional texts to China. Also recorded is the intellectual ferment that led to the founding of numerous schools of Buddhism and the devotion that led to the compilation of the Chinese canon. 220 pages, published 1982
