The Buddhist monk Tanxu surmounted extraordinary obstacles--poverty, wars, famine and foreign occupation to become one of the most prominent monks in China, founding numerous temples and schools and attracting crowds of students and disciples wherever he went. Heart of Buddha, Heart of China traces Tanxu`s journey from his birth in 1875 to his death in 1963. Through Tanxu`s life we come to know one of the most turbulent periods in Chinese history as it moved from empire to republic. James Carter draws on archives and interviews to provide a book that is part travelogue, part history and part biography.
