Biographical Information
Gadjin Masato Nagao was a long-time professor of Buddhist Studies at Kyoto University, and arguably the most insightful, profound and positively influential Japanese scholar of Buddhism in the twentieth century. His scholarship, characterized by its philosophical penetration, sympathy with its object, restraint and breadth, his teaching, characterized by its rigor and high expectations, and his service, characterized by its generosity and enthusiasm, combined to make him an almost legendary figure. (Adapted from the obituary by Jonathan A. Silk in The Eastern Buddhist 36, no. 1/2 (2004): 243-51).
