Description
|
|
|
|
This modern study of Japanese Shin Buddhism offers a combination of historical development and carefully selected readings, with commentaries and illustrations. Though looked down upon by foreign observers as a populist form of Buddhism because of its mass appeal, notes Alfred Boom in his foreword, "more recent and accurate research has shown that its exponents may be critical thinkers, as well as committed followers, and that its insights into the human condition should not be underestimated merely because of its reputation as one of the largest Buddhist denominations of Japan."
