Dear Piya,

The pinyin of the book's title is:

Yuanshi Fojiao Shengdian zhi Jicheng [the Formation of Early Buddhist
Texts]

This pinyin is according to Choong Mun-keat's book:

The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism: A comparative study
based on the Suutraa"nga portion of the Paali Sa.myutta-Nikaaya and
the Chinese Sa.myuktaagama (= Beitrage zur Indologie 32)(Harrassowitz
Verlag, Wiesbaden, 2000). The author's personal website is
http://www.geocities.com/cmkwk/cmkwk_page.html

I do have the Yin Shun's book, which is published in 1971 (first
edition).

Regards,

Thomas Law
