The Buddhist Voyage beyond Death comprehensively but concisely recapitulates the Three Turnings of the Dharma-Wheel: the central teachings of Buddha, of the Mahayana and of the Vajrayana; with a particular focus on the Mind-only tradition in relation to Buddhist cosmology, karma, and transmigration. With a Foreword by Dr. Robert Magliola, a specialist in comparative religion and author of Derrida on the Mend; On Deconstructing Life-Worlds: Buddhism, Christianity, Culture; and Facing Up to Real Doctrinal Difference, the book incorporates a modern scientific sensibility focusing on memory, time and space, matter and energy—using metaphors drawn from science and technology to illustrate spiritual concepts—and it provides an answer to those grappling with their life difficulties amid negative emotions of fear, anxiety, anger, and insecurity.

Venerable Dharma Master Hsin Tao is a highly-reputed contemporary Zen (Chinese Chan) Master and Incarnate Teacher (ratified by His Holiness Mozha) of the Nyingma Kathok tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He is internationally renowned as the founder of the Museum of World Religions, Taipei, and for his undaunted attempts to bring about world peace by fostering dialogue among religions.

Chungmin Maria Tu, Ph.D., translator of this English-language edition and author of its Introduction, is Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Delaware, USA. Her publications include The Analects of Confucius Revisited (co-authored with Dr. Jianguo Chen, 2016) and a Chinese-language book on Gilles Deleuze, Desire and Zero-Intensity (2017).

  • "I imagine that few readers will have heard of the work and teaching of the Chinese Buddhist monk Hsin Tao, but this book is a real jewel. [...] This is not for the fainthearted. The fundamental truths of Buddhism are clearly articulated – suffering, emptiness, impermanence - but also the cultivation and promotion of self-less-ness and goodness. [...] The ultimate development is that of the bodhisattva embracing all sentient beings. This is precious teaching for our time."
    - David Lorimer Paradigm Explorer: Journal of the Scientific and Medical Network, 124 (2017/2)
  • "The Buddhist Voyage beyond Death elaborates on traditional East Asia Buddhist concepts about life, death, karma and the structure of the cosmos for contemporary readers in the West, and in doing so breaks with the tendency of some contemporary writers/teachers to downplay aspects of these teachings that are likely to go against the grain of modern scientism and secularism. With admirable clarity, The Buddhist Voyage beyond Death introduces readers to core aspects of Buddhist ritual and practice that illustrate how East Asian Buddhist practice is conducted both in community and for community."
    - Peter Hershock, Ph.D. Director of the Asian Studies Development Program and Education Specialist, East-West Center, Honolulu, Hawai’i
  • "Because the writing is not technical, but free flowing, which the translation reflects well, I believe this book will have wide appeal to American readers who are interested both in Buddhism and in what a contemporary Buddhist master has to say about these questions of vital importance."
    - Chün-fang Yü, Ph.D. Sheng Yen Professor Emerita of Chinese Buddhist Studies, Department of Religion and Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University
