Recenzje

"Dr. Nakasone, long-time scholar of the Huayan (Avata saka) teachings, illuminates , dharmadhatu-pratityasamutpada, or "universal dependent co-arising," a core insight from the Buddha's experience of Awakening. The culmination of many years of study and reflection, this book is a richly rewarding investigation of essential Dharma for 21st century students of the Buddha's wisdom." -Heng Sure, Director of the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery and Senior Monastic at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Ukiah, California
