An overview of the history and the tradition, tracing Buddhism from its inception in India to its transmission to China and its subsequent blossoming throughout the world. Nan Huai-Chin shares its basics and origins, relating the many stories surrounding the life of Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, as well as the cultural and religious setting in India that fostered the initial rise of Buddhism. He discusses Buddhism in the rest of Asia, Europe and America and brings us to date with a discussion of Buddhism in the 20th century. An extensive appendix explains the Zen Monastic System, with an especially interesting discussion on living in the Zen Hall, Zen Master Banishing's enlightenment and the 20 essential rules of the Zen community. For a solid understanding of contemporary Buddhism in its varied forms, this is an indispensable book.

In his youth, Nan received a classical education that included various Confucian and Daoist works, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, literature, calligraphy, poetry, and other subjects. In his youth at the age of 18, he became the provincial martial arts champion after studying several Chinese martial arts including swordsmanship with the jian. Nan studied social welfare at Jinling University (now merged with Nanjing University), and later went on to teach at the Republic of China Military Academy in Nanjing. In the late 1930s at the age of 21 years, Nan became a military commander at the border regions of Sichuan, Xikang, and Yunnan during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[4] There, he led a local group of 30,000 men against the Japanese invasion.[5]
