This annotated translation by Daisetz Suzuki (1870-1966) comprises the first four of six chapters of the Kyogyoshinsho, the definitive doctrinal work of Shinran (1173-1262). Shinran founded the Jodo Shin sect of Pure Land Buddhism, now the largest religious organization in Japan. Writing in Classical Chinese, Shinran began this, his magnum opus, while in exile and spent the better part of thirty years after his return to Kyoto revising the text. Although unfinished, Suzuki's translation conveys the text's core religious message, showing how Shinran offered a new understanding of faith through studying teachings before engaging in praxis, rather than the more common and far more limited view of faith in Buddhism as relevant to one just beginning their pursuit of Buddhist truth. Although Suzuki is best known for his scholarship on Zen Buddhism, he took a lifelong interest in Pure Land Buddhism. Suzuki's own religious perspective is evident in his translation of gyo as ''True Living'' rather than the expected ''Practice,'' and of sho as ''True Realizing of the Pure Land'' rather than the expected ''Enlightenment'' or ''Confirmation.'' This book contains the second edition of Suzuki's translation. It includes a number of corrections to the original 1973 edition, long out of print, as well as Suzuki's unfinished preface in its original form for the first time.

BUDDHA & MAN is the first published English translation of the writings of Eikichi Ikeyama (1873-1938). Ikeyama, a professor of German who lived & taught several years in Europe, was a devout nembutsu practitioner well known in Japan for his dynamic, witty lectures on Shin Buddhism. In Dr. Toshikazu Arai's equally dynamic & witty translation, Ikeyama's profound insight into the existential depth of Shin Buddhism (Pure Land Mahayana) comes across with extraordinary clarity. Currently on the faculty of Soai Women's University in Osaka, Japan, Dr. Arai was formerly a professor at the University of Hawaii. His sensitive translation titled BUDDHA & MAN is of the portion subtitled 'Milestone' in Ikeyama's HOTOKE TO HITO. This portion was regarded by Ikeyama as the core & essence of his work. Students, general readers, & Buddhists themselves will be jolted into a fresh look at Shin Buddhism through this remarkable book. Quality paperback. Cover by Buddhist artist Ralph Togashi.

This second volume of passages gathered from the leading monks and teachers of the Pure Land, or Shin, school of Buddhist teaching focuses on religious practice. Extending from the foundational texts and first interpreters in the 4th century, to Rennyo in the 15th century, Professor Bloom’s selections trace the development of Shin Buddhist teaching from monastic visualization practices to the widely popular path to salvation through faith in, and recitation of, the name of Amida Buddha. Volume 2 features a foreword by Kenneth K. Tanaka and an introduction by renowned scholar and editor, Alfred Bloom, whose selected passages have been arranged topically for easy reference on issues of Pure Land teaching. The key interpreters featured are the Seven Great Teachers from India, China, and Japan (Nagarjuna, Vasubandhu; T’an-luan, Tao-ch’o, Shan-tao; Genshin, Honen), selected as doctrinal authorities by Shinran (1173-1263), the founder of the Japanese Pure Land sect.

Shinran (1173-1262) is the founder of the Jodo Shinshu Pure Land Buddhist tradition in Japan during the Kamakura period. This movement, once set in motion, eventually became the largest Buddhist sect in Japan and spread to the West at the end of the nineteenth century. Renowned scholar of Shin Buddhism, Alfred Bloom, presents the life and spiritual legacy of Shinran Shonin, the influential religious reformer and founder of Pure Land Buddhism, the most popular school of Buddhism in Japan today. Bloom presents a wide selection of Shinran's essential writings on the key Shin Buddhist idea of true entrusting (shinjin) to the Other-Power of Amida Buddha through His Vow to save all sentient beings. The Essential Teachings of Shinran, also, includes a foreword by Shin Buddhist scholar, Rueben Habito, a detailed glossary of foreign terms, and a select bibliography for further reading.

This completely new study of Japanese Shin Buddhism offers a valuable combination of historical development and present-day practice supported by carefully selected readings and commentaries. Additional value is provided by the many illustrations which illuminate the text. Esben Andreasen's excellent and very accessible study, therefore, will be widely welcomed, both for its scope as a coursework reader, and as a general introduction to this much-neglected area of Buddhist practice. It will also go a long way to reforming the general view in the West that Zen is the principal Buddhist expression in Japanâwhen, as a matter of fact, it is a minority religion. Alfred Bloom's helpful Postcript reminds us that Shin Buddhism is a tradition some 800 years in development, and that "its basic approach to spiritual emancipation or deliverance stresses faith and the recitation of the name Namo Amida Butsu as an expression of gratitude for the deliverance offered by Amida Buddha through his Primal Vows."

The medieval period of Japanese religious history is commonly known as one in which there was a radical transformation of the religious culture. This book suggests an alternate approach to understanding the dynamics of that transformation. One main topic of analysis focuses on what Buddhism - its practices and doctrines, its traditions and institutions - meant for medieval Japanese peoples themselves. This is achieved by using the notions of discourse and ideology and juxtaposing various topics on shared linguistic practices and discursive worlds of medieval Japanese Buddhism. Collating contributions from outstanding scholars in the field of Buddhist Studies, the editors have created an important work that builds on preliminary work on rethinking the importance and meaning of Kamakura Buddhism published recently in English, and adds greatly to the debate.

Ippen (1239-1289) was a wandering hijiri (holy man) and religious leader whose movement developed into one of the major schools of medieval Japanese Buddhism. In his life and thought we find elements of folk practices and mountain austerities, the critical spirit of Zen, and the cosmic vision of esoteric traditions. This volume presents a translation of all of Ippen's extant writings, including letters and verse, together with records of his spoken words.
