商品簡介
Pure Land or Shin Buddhism is the most popular form of Buddhism in Japan. Yet in the West it has been overshadowed by the more famous Zen Buddhism. In Volume 2 of his new work, renowned author and scholar of the Shin tradition, Alfred Bloom, has collected key passages on Pure Land religious practice from among the scriptures and the leading monks of the school during the 4th-15th centuries C.E., the period of the tradition’s greatest flowering. Arranged by topic for easy reference, and including a foreword by Kenneth K. Tanaka, it is sure to be an instant classic.
