Daoism and Chan Buddhism

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.

authors whose books you might wanna look at:

Bernard Faure

John McRae
