Monks, rulers, and literati : the political ascendancy of Chan Buddhism / Altert Welter.

Over the centuries, Chan Buddhism has grown from an obscure movement to an officially recognised and eventually dominant form of Buddhism in China and East Asia. In this book, the author presents the story of the rise of Chan, a story which has been obscured by myths about Zen.
