Wang wei (698-759) is one of the greatest High Tang poets. His works often present a Buddhist perspective, combining an appreciation of the beauties of nature with an awareness of sensory illusion. This book is an original and ambitious exploration of Chan Buddhism in Wang's nature poetry. Yang combines literary and historical perspectives to examine Wang's ideology of reclusion, his associations with Buddhist monks, and his apprehension of Buddhism doctrines.
