First line

WESTERN attitudes toward Chinese and Japanese religions were formed largely from the descriptions given by Christian missionaries to those countries.

From the rear cover

Bernard Faure examines the study of Chan / Zen from the standpoint of postmodern human sciences and literary criticism, challenging this inversion of traditional 'Orientalist' discourse: whether the Other is caricatured or idealized, ethnocentric premises marginalize important parts of Chan thought.
