Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Pâli Text Society, 1906-1907
During the twenty centuries of development in the Far East Buddhism has been differentiated into many sects, which are so far distinct from their original Hindu types that we are justified in designating far-eastern Buddhism by a special name. Though, as a matter of course, all these different sects trace back their final authority to the Indian founder, and were introduced by Indian missionaries into the lands where they have been thriving throughout their long history, they would not have reached the present stage of perfection unless they had been elaborated by Chinese and Japanese geniuses. Students of Buddhism, therefore, cannot well afiord to ignore or neglect the study of Chinese and Japanese Buddhism, not only in its historical aspect, but also as a living and still growing spiritual force.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of formulas used in Zen Sect ceremonies. These formulas were frequently used in Buddhist ceremonies that welcomed new members to the faith and during recitations of the Patimokkha. The author collected sixteen of these formulas and translated them from Burmese and Chinese into English, shedding light on the history and usage of these ancient rituals. Stemming from teachings prevalent in India during the 5th century, the formulas reveal the changes that occurred in the practice of Buddhism when it spread east, and provide an opportunity to examine how religious practices evolve over time and in different regions.
