Synopsis:
A valuable introduction to the Pure Land tradition of Shin Buddhism, the most popular form of Buddhism in Japan, which dates back to the 6th century. Unlike Zen, its counterpart, which flourished in remote monasteries, Pure Land was the form of Buddhism practiced by common people. Consequently, its practice is harmonious with the workings of daily life, making it easily adaptable for seekers today. Despite differences in method, however, the goal of Pure Land is the same as that of other schools - the awakening of enlightenment.
"Unno`s book goes well beyond its stated aim - it has improved my understanding of my own faith - and even of myself." Alexander Eliot. |
