Robert van Gulik (高羅佩)

“Don't you mind dying, sir?” the consul asked. “Forgive me a little lofty talk,” van Gulik said, “but all movement is illusory. From Seoul to Kobe. From life to death.”

I have known Robert van Gulik as a sinologist for many years. I didn't know he has some Buddhist point of view until reading the preface of a Madhyamaka book.
