Four Shin Buddhist thinkers reflect on their tradition’s encounter with modernity. Cultivating Spirituality is a seminal anthology of Shin Buddhist thought, one that reflects this tradition’s encounter with modernity. Shin (or Jodo Shinshu) is a popular form of Pure Land Buddhism, the most widely practiced form of Buddhism in Japan, but is only now becoming well known in the West. The lives of the four thinkers included in the book spanned the years 1863–1982, from the Meiji opening to the West to Japan’s establishment as an industrialized democracy and world economic power. Kiyozawa Manshi, Soga Ryojin, Kaneko Daiei, and Yasuda Rijin, all associated with Kyoto’s Otani University, dealt with the spiritual concerns of a society undergoing great change. Their philosophical orientation known... Less

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 is best known for founding 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 as the conclusion of studying teachings and engaging in praxis, rather than the more traditional view of faith in Buddhism as relevant to one just beginning their pursuit of Buddhist...

Translated by Hisao Inagaki, the Kyôgyôshinshô is the magnum opus of Shinran Shonin (1173–1262), founder of the Jôdo Shinshu school of Pure Land Buddhism. This work is a collection of three hundred and seventy-six passages from sixty-two sutras, discourses, and commentaries, with Shinran’s own notes and commentary, organized into a coherent and comprehensive explication of the Pure Land teaching.

the field of Pure Land Studies and JOdo Shin Buddhism, in particular, has begun increasingly to attract interest among scholars of religion, theologians and ordinary people, because it combines a highly developed symbol system, a devotional focus and philosophic, reflective thought. Once considered by foreign observers as a debased, popular form of Buddhism because of its mass appeal, 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.

During the sengoku era--the period of warring provinces in fifteenth- and sixteenth- century Japan--warlords vied for supremacy and sought to expand their influence over the realm. Powerful religious institutions also asserted their military might by calling upon their adherents to do battle against forces that threatened their spiritual and secular interests. The Honganji branch of Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land Sect) Buddhism was one such powerhouse that exercised its military will by fanning violent uprisings of ikko ikki, loosely structured leagues of one mind made up of mostly commoners who banded together to fight for (or against) any number of causes--usually those advanced by the Honganji's Patriarch. Carol Richmond Tsang delves into the complex and often contradictory... Less

This is the story of a 13th-century Buddhist monk, Shinran, who broke his vows of celibacy by marrying the nun Eshinni. As a result they were both exiled to the wilds of the Kanto region in Japan. There they took up housekeeping and raised a family under very arduous conditions. Despite this difficult life they formed the Jodo Shinshu, which became the most popular Buddhist sect in Japan. Eventually they were pardoned and resumed living in Kyoto, where they established the religion Pure Land Buddhism on Mt. Hiei.
