![]() It is truly a better book because of their advice. The second reader remains anonymous to me, but I hope that he or she knows how grateful I am for the helpful comments about how to make my book more accessible. The first, David Lurie, shared characteristically knowledgeable advice on points both big and small from what must have been a remarkably thorough reading. The two external readers went above and beyond viiĮxpectations, providing detailed and erudite feedback. My senpai, Asuka Sango, also read the entire manuscript and gave suggestions that helped clarify my thinking and saved me from numerous embarrassments. Robert Campany offered comments on each and e very chapter he has been the most generous senior colleague imaginable. These teachers laid the foundation for d oing research, but this proj ect would never have become a book without the generous feedback I received from a number of readers. He sponsored a very productive year at Ōtani University, allowed me to participate in his Shōsōin seminar, and helped me gain access to manuscripts at Ōtani. Miyazaki Kenji has also been a strong supporter of my work. I would like to especially thank Sakaehara Towao, who graciously allowed me to audit his seminar but has also done so much more than that: inviting me into his home, giving me dozens of volumes, helping me secure permission for some of the images in this book, and introducing me to scholars. In Japan, I was similarly blessed with caring teachers who patiently taught me how to carefully read Shōsōin documents among other lessons. I’m grateful that Bill Waldron first got me started in Buddhist studies. I benefited from formal and informal instruction at Princeton by Martin Collcutt, Funayama Toru (during his semester t here), John Gager, Jonathan Gold, Tom Hare, Susan Naquin, Keiko Ono, Jeff Stout, and Andrew Watsky. I had the pleasure to work closely with Buzzy Teiser, whose common interests in manuscript and liturgical cultures, shared methodological sensibilities, and generous nature have led to innumerable stimulating conversations that continue to the present day. More than anyone, Jackie Stone, my graduate advisor, has been a constant source of support and remains the paragon for scholarly rigor that I aspire to. First, I have been fortunate to study with g reat teachers, who challenged me and provided a model for what a scholar should be. Despite the constant aid and encouragement of more individuals than I can possibly thank, I am sure that many mistakes remain I take full responsibility for all of them.
