The abstracts look very interesting, especially to me Robert Sharfs on Hosso/Yogacara and phenomenology, considering Lusthaus wrote a big big book on that topic. Sharf was ordained in the Hosso sect and did his early work at Kofukuji so I'm looking foward to reading his critique.

They all received buddhahood with their current bodies (genshin)" Thus these verses state that the dharma nature is like a great ocean.
