Shinranism In Mahayana Buddhism And The Modern World is a comprehensive exploration of the teachings of Shinran Shonin, a celebrated figure in the history of Japanese Buddhism. Written by Takeichi Takahashi, a prominent scholar of Eastern religions, the book delves into the origins and evolution of Shinranism, a school of thought that emphasizes the role of faith and devotion in achieving enlightenment.The book begins by providing a historical context for the emergence of Shinranism, tracing its roots back to the teachings of the Buddha and the development of Mahayana Buddhism. It then delves into the life and teachings of Shinran Shonin, exploring his ideas on the nature of existence, the role of karma, and the path to liberation.Throughout the book, Takahashi draws connections between Shinranism and the modern world, examining how the teachings of Shinran Shonin can be applied to contemporary issues such as social justice, environmentalism, and human rights. He also explores the ways in which Shinranism has influenced Japanese culture and society, from literature and art to politics and economics.Overall, Shinranism In Mahayana Buddhism And The Modern World is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most influential figures in Japanese Buddhism, and the enduring relevance of his teachings in today's world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
