Bibliographic and Linguistic Conventions

In order to make the body of the text as readable as possible, the following conventions have been adopted throughout the book: The notes and bibliography have been moved to the back of the book. Bibliographical entries for Japanese works include the original title in Japanese characters, a romanized pronunciation, and an English tranlation of the title. Complete bibliographical references for sources that appear in only one article are given in the endnotes. Bibliographical information for all other sources has been gathered into the general bibliography that follows the notes. Chinese names and terms have been transcribed in the classical Wade-Giles system of romanization. Chinese and Japanese characters have for the most part been eliminated from the body of the text and moved to the notes. The Sino-Japanese writing of proper names can be found in the cumulative index at the end of the volume. Common or well-known Sanskrit and Pali terms have generally been left unitalicized and without diacritical marks, except when they appear in titles of works given in the original language. In principle, we have followed Roger Jacksons Terms of Sanskrit and Pli Origin Acceptable as English Words (Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies 5, 1982: 1412). Japanese and Chinese proper names are given according to Asian usage, rst the family or kinship name and then the personal name.
