Studies in Japanese Buddhism by August Karl Reischauer is a comprehensive exploration of the history, philosophy, and practices of Buddhism in Japan. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Japanese Buddhism, including the development of different schools of thought, the role of Buddhism in Japanese society, and the relationship between Buddhism and other religions in Japan. Reischauer draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of Japanese Buddhism. He examines the key figures, texts, and practices associated with different schools of Buddhism, such as Tendai, Shingon, and Zen, and explores how these schools have influenced Japanese culture and society. In addition to its scholarly analysis, Studies in Japanese Buddhism also provides a rich and engaging account of the lived experience of Buddhism in Japan. Reischauer discusses the role of Buddhist temples and rituals in Japanese daily life, and examines the ways in which Buddhism has been adapted to meet the needs of different social groups, such as women and the working class. Overall, Studies in Japanese Buddhism is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan, as well as for scholars of Buddhism and comparative religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
