The Buddhist monk Tanxu surmounted extraordinary obstacles - poverty, wars, famine, and foreign occupation - to become one of the most prominent monks in China. In this book, James Carter draws on untapped archival materials to provide a book that is part travelogue, part history and part biography of this remarkable man.
