Dear List Members,
 
as I am interested in discovering some more about the inspiration Tolstoj drew from his Buddhist readings, I would like to ask if there is anyone among you who might recommend some scholarship in Russian - whether articles or essays - about this topic. As for the writing I have discovered so far, there's plenty indeed to read, but hardly anything that I would define as scholarship (Ivan Bunin).
 
I know the subject of this enquiry may appear somewhat divergent from the topics usually discussed on this list, but I wish to consult you as well and not limit myself to the information I can gather from the field of Slavic Studies. I would be extremely thankful for any suggestion.
 
With kindest regards,
 
Omar Abu Dbei
