Reviews

Shayne Clarke's Family Matters is truly a welcome addition to scholarship in the field of Buddhist Studies. . . . Clarke has uncovered a narrative trajectory in the vinaya (and other Buddhist literatures) which has the potential to radically alter scholarly conceptions about the post-ordination relationship of the Indian Buddhist to his or her family.-- "International Journal of Asian Studies"
