Josh Capitanio, one of my distinguished colleagues in the Religious Studies Department at University of the West, has begun a new blog entitled Buddhas and Sages.  I strongly encourage you to check it out–Josh is an excellent scholar and one heck of a nice guy.

This is how Josh describes the blog and himself:

About this blog:

The purpose of this blog is to provide information on Buddhism (and, occasionally, other forms of Chinese religion) based on my own research.  My hope is to introduce my readers to some of the more obscure aspects of Buddhist teachings, mainly through the translation of primary texts from East Asian canonical collections.

About me:

I am an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of the West, located in sunny Southern California.  I received my Ph.D in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008, and my research focuses on Chinese religions, with an emphasis on Buddhism and Daoism.
