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
