There is unfortunately very little available on Pure Land Buddhism in English. That's a shame. Because Pure Land Buddhism is the larges school throughout East Asia - and a spiritual tradition that has much to offer to the west. This dharma text is in the tradition of the Avatamsaka Sutra (which Zen-master D. T. Suzuki described as the epitome of Buddhist thought, sentiment and experience) , the author sometimes shifts from one plane of meaning to another, at times down-to-earth, at times metaphysical, so as to reach readers at every level and to sever attachment to his very words. It is in this light that certain paradoxes already familiar to students of Zen (illusory but not non-existant, recitation with no thought of recitation, etc. ) should be viewed and understood. This book is a great - and practical - overview of the tradition as it's practiced in China and Vietnam. Of great value both to practitioners and to interested readers who want to gain insight into Pure Land Buddhist teachings. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 363 pages.
