I am attempting to locate a copy of Edward Conze's article Buddhism and Asian Society. According to the bibliography in Conze's Memoirs it was published in the Shambhala Review of Books and Ideas, V 1-2, 1976, 15-19. Conze describes it as follows: 
 
“Last year…I wrote an article in the Shambhala Review which incensed the Golden Mountain Monastery in San Francisco so much that they dubbed me the 'Demon King'.” (Memoirs Pt II, pg 6) 
 
He adds, “commercially rewritten this also exists in: Buddhism, Family of Man, V 67, 1975, 1869-1876” (Memoirs Pt I, pg 157). 
 
He also mentions in the bibliography to the Memoirs the following review: 
 
The Threefold Lotus Sutra ('Fastidious Old-timers may well 
moan') Codex Shambhala IV 3, September 1975, 6-7
 
I have not been able to locate these publications in a library or rare periodicals dealers, and have been told by someone at Shambhala Publications that they do not appear to be in Shambhala's archives. 
 
If anyone has any of these publications, and would be willing to send me a copy, please contact me off list at

I am still looking for the great gter ma of Buddhist Studies, Part III of Conze's Memoirs. If anyone has any information regarding this manuscript (additional to the postings made on this list in October 2005 and the H-Buddhism list in November 2001), please let me know.
