"--John Strong, author of "Relics of the Buddha" "In brilliant prose, Cole convinces us that we can deduce what kind of reader was imaginatively addressed by Mahayana sutras, showing us something of that elusive but crucial thing, religious subjectivity."--Angela Zito, New York University Read More
