Dear Colleagues,

Below I forward a post from Keith Knapp made on the Confucian Traditions email list regarding the passing of the noted scholar and translator Burton Watson.  -- Chuck [Muller, H-Buddhism]

Dear Colleagues,

The famed translator and scholar Burton Watson passed away on April 1.  I've been waiting for an obituary to post this news.  Below is one from the New York Times.  Many of us owe him a great deal of thanks for his Herculean labors.  Just a personal reminder of this debt, my students read his translation of the Han Fei Tzu this semester.

With warm regards,

Keith
