Only a Great Rain: A Guide to Chinese Buddhist Meditation

In Only a Great Rain, modern meditation master Hsing Yun presents Chinese Buddhist meditation in clear, engaging terms. He begins by showing us the intimate connections between ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom and goes on to describe a variety of meditation techniques, drawing on the insights of the Ch'an (Zen), T'ien-t'ai, Hua-yen, and Pure Land traditions. Professor McRae's introduction provides a helpful context for understanding Chinese Buddhism and Master Hsing Yun's place within it.
