"Wonderfully curated and intelligently arranged, the volume brings together a number of renowned scholars whose original research contributions both sketch out salient features of text, practice, art, institution, and sect within the broad scope of the Buddhist tradition and which do so with careful attention to the current state of, and research trends within, the field of Buddhist studies." (Religious Studies Review 2016)

<p><b>Mario Poceski </b>is Associate Professor of Buddhist studies and Chinese religions at the University of Florida. He has spent extended periods as a visiting researcher at Komazawa University, Japan, Stanford University, National University of Singapore, and University of Hamburg, Germany. A specialist in the history of Chinese Buddhism and a recipient of several prestigious fellowships, his numerous books include <i>Ordinary Mind as the Way: The Hongzhou School and the Growth of Chan Buddhism </i>(2007) and <i>Introducing Chinese Religions </i>(2009).</p>

<p>Offering comprehensive and balanced coverage, this Companion explores numerous aspects of Buddhism within East and Central Asia, from the time of the Buddha right through to the present day.</p> <p>Written by an outstanding interdisciplinary and international contributor team, these newly-commissioned essays provide fresh, scholarly perspectives on a wide range of texts, traditions, doctrines, practices, and institutions – on topics spanning gender roles, tantric rituals, and the spread of Zen into Europe, through to Canon formation, the development of monastic institutions, and the role of digital Buddhism. Together they provide a panoramic view of the extraordinary richness and variety of local Buddhist expressions and practices within Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Tibetan cultures. </p> <p><i>The Wiley Blackwell Companion to East and Inner Buddhism</i> crosses boundaries that separate traditional academic disciplines, providing an invaluable resource and reference for scholars, students, and others interested in the study of Buddhism.</p>

<p>Editor Mario Poceski has assembled an outstanding group of scholars, who provide a thoroughly investigated and detailed yet highly accessible analysis of the development of Buddhism in East and Inner Asia from traditional to modern times. This volume provides a handy and insightful reference work covering a multitude of important topics in the field.—<b>Steven Heine, Florida International University</b></p> <p> </p>
