These changes built on basic transformations within the Buddhist and classicist traditions and sometimes resulted in the use of Buddhism and Buddhist temples as frames of reference to evaluate aspects of lay society.

Gives us guidance, while delivering a meditation on the real glimpses of the limits on a life. Displaying an agility of formal invention - this work moves from a Whitmanesque and witty litany to rhymed quatrains.
