Very sad news. He was a true pioneer in East Asian Buddhist studies.
"While teachers of the middle way, mind only, transcendent wisdom, mantra, and other schools may have their own assertions, the fulfillment of those intentions is the same. There is not a single thing that is not contained within mind."

NAMU AMIDA BUTSU!
May he quickly be reborn in the Pure Lands.
I remember well a weekend seminar he taught at Zen Mountain Monastery some 17 years ago.
