John Jorgensen studied in Australia, Japan, and Korea. His
publications deal mainly with Chan/Son Buddhism and include six
volumes of translations. He has written articles and encyclopedia
entries on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Buddhism, as well as
Korean new religions.
Dan Lusthaus specializes in the transmission of Buddhism from India
to China, with special focus on Yogacara Buddhism. The Treatise on
Awakening Mah=ay=ana Faith is the first Buddhist text he read in
Chinese, and he has been studying it ever since.
John Makeham specializes in Chinese intellectual history. He has a
particular interest in Confucian thought throughout Chinese history
and, in more recent years, in the influence of Sinitic Buddhist
thought on pre-modern and modern Confucian philosophy.
Mark Strange studies the intellectual and political history of
medieval China. Before moving to the Australian National
University, he taught at the University of Warwick, University of
Oxford, and University of Cambridge.
"This Oxford translation is thus a timely and long-awaited event in
the field. It is well informed with current research, and well
designed in its presentation of the important issues of the
treatise; it is lucid in language, and explains difficult concepts
and complex background in an in-depth, well-organized, and
accessible way; it is thoroughly annotated, providing detailed
discussions and explanations to almost all problems in the text.
Thus marked by
erudition, insightfulness, and clarity, this translation -- despite
differences in the understanding of individual details -- makes an
important contribution to the study of the treatise as well as
Buddhist
and East Asian philosophy, and will find its place on the
bookshelves of all those in the field for years to come." -- Tao
Jin, H-Buddhism
"This belongs in every Buddhological collection." -- Lukas Pokorny,
Religious Studies Review
