...a fascinating look at Buddhist literature in general ... [Flores] explores the drama, lyricism and storylines in Buddhist sacred literature while illustrating how rhetoric and ideology are at work in shaping the reader's reactions ... an interesting and thought-provoking book. - Journal of the Buddhist Society This book brings Buddhist texts up to the level of literature, as cultural texts worth reading for their own rhetorical qualities beyond their religious message. - Francisca Cho, author of Everything Yearned For: Manhae's Poems of Love and Longing
