Marburg Journal of Religion: Hisamatsu on Zen Art

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw attention to the latest issue of Marburg Journal of Religion - Volume 17 (2013)(open access, internet only) at:

http://www.uni-marburg.de/fb03/ivk/mjr/current_issue

It contains two items of interests for Buddhist Studies:

Article:

Hisamatsu Shin’ichi:
"On Zen Art" (republished by permission from The Eastern Buddhist).

The well-known article by Hisamatsu (previously circulated in an unsatisfactory form elsewhere on the net) has been taken through a careful editorial up-date and is now, I believe, an excellent brief resource for students on the subject of Zen art.

The second item is a substantial review:

Yao, Yu-shuang:
Taiwan's Tzu Chi as Engaged Buddhism: Origins, Organization, Appeal and Social Impact

reviewed by Richard Gombrich

I'm sorry that this is a late announcement. The issue has been "up" for some time, but there were a few small technical problems to be resolved.

With all best wishes, Michael Pye
