The materials produced by the interaction of the mature forms of Chinese Buddhism and Taoism constitute some of the most sophisticated and complex examples of the meeting of Chinese and non-Chinese thought ever written. In his work on the Treasure Store Treatise Robert Sharf has at last established their remarkable value and defended them conclusively against the charge that they lack intellectual integrity. This study will remain a basic source of theoretical guidance and practical help for any scholar or student wishing to confront the multifaceted and interactive nature of China's major philosophical and religious traditions for many years to come.
