Bones of the Master

In this memoir/travelogue, an American poet travels to Mongolia with his friend Tsung Tsai, the last Ch'an Buddhist master, in order to find the bones of Tsung Tsai's teacher. Along the way, Crane learns much of Ch'an Buddhism and of Tsung Tsai's past, including his escape from the Red Guards in the late'50s--and both experience modern-day China and Hong Kong.
