Daoism and Chan Buddhism

[Shi Rui'en]

Well, I am going to be writing a large paper on daoism influence in Chan Buddhism. If anyone knows of any good books or other sources that would be of help, please list them here. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

A few people are interest in the Chinese religion, on the other hand , more and more people are interest in the western religion.

I suggest you go to Chinese Google to find what you need.

hi Shi Rui'en:

I'am working on my easy of taolism too. Although I was born and raised in China, I have to admit it's diff to write. B/c I am not sure if you are able to read Chinese resourses or not, I recommend you my sourcebook: A history of Asia, rhoads murphey. hope that helps

i suggest lao tzu to be separated from the religion, except for the part that he was made the founder of the religion by some taoists to prove their legitimacy.
