It also aims to familiarize students with the use of a range of resources necessary for becoming independent readers of such texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinese Buddhist Texts is suitable for students who have completed the equivalent of at least one year's college level study of Modern Chinese and are familiar with roughly one thousand of the commonest Chinese characters. Previous study of Classical Chinese would be an advantage, but is not assumed. It is an ideal textbook for students taking relevant courses in Chinese studies programs and in Buddhist studies programs. However, it is also possible for a student to work through the reader on his or her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther online resources are available at: lockgraham.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Lock,Gary S.
