A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms

This invaluable interpretive tool, first published in 1937, is now available for the first time in a paperback edition specially aimed at students of Chinese Buddhism.
For about a thousand years, Buddhism dominated the thought of China and her first-rate minds were occupied with Buddhist philosophy. This dictionary is therefore a valuable tool in the interpretation of Chinese culture, as well as an important reference for the comparative study of Sanskrit and Pali originals. Characters are listed by their number of strokes, and within that by radical, so that location of a term is relatively easy by the standards of most Chinese dictionaries. An index of Sanskrit terms with references to the Chinese text is also included.
