Yanagida Seizan 柳田聖山 （1922-2006）educated a generation of American scholars of East Asian Buddhism. He was often considered an eminent scholar of early Chinese Chan history. But rarely known is that he has written a passionate essay about Yinyuan Longqi 隱元隆琦 in a popular book on Zen and Japanese Culture.
Prof. Tu Weiming 杜维明 was my academic advisor during my years at Harvard (1996-2002). I recently recovered two papers he gave me. I am still reading his works. Greatly inspired.
