GREAT !!!By barbGREAT !!!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. TNH strikes a good balance. I am thus satisfiedBy LAM SUMIn this book; Thich Nhat Hanh puts forward a new argument that the Chinese Buddhism was brought actually first by half-viet monk Tang Hoi. I give the book a 5-star because this finding is something new; and his reasoning to support the new finding is well supported. In addition to the history perspective; TNH offers a teaching on the teaching of Master Tang Hoi. This book is not solely a history book; but for practitioners. And I think in this sense; TNH strikes a good balance. I am thus satisfied.
