An interesting read, but far from practical! This is a book for people with experience and knowledge in Buddhism, intermediate or advanced level. He assumes you know the terms he is using throughout and the Buddhist concepts are not explained in an introductory way. The stories of Chinese masters are very interesting, but I would really only recommend this book to people already quite engrossed in the study/practice of (Chinese) Buddhism.
