Wisdom of the East is a book written by Shinran Shonin, a Japanese Buddhist monk who lived in the 13th century. The book is a collection of his teachings, which are based on the Pure Land school of Buddhism. The Pure Land school emphasizes the importance of devotion to Amitabha Buddha, who is believed to have created a Pure Land where beings can achieve enlightenment more easily.In the book, Shinran Shonin explains the key principles of Pure Land Buddhism and how they can be applied to daily life. He emphasizes the importance of faith, compassion, and gratitude, and encourages readers to cultivate these qualities in order to attain enlightenment.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Pure Land Buddhism. These include the role of Amitabha Buddha, the importance of chanting his name, and the concept of karma and rebirth.Overall, Wisdom of the East is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Pure Land Buddhism and how it can be applied to daily life. It offers practical advice and insights that can help readers cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.Though the way into the Land that is in the West hath been made plain before us, yet the age-long Kalpas have rolled away without good fruit thereof, for we have hindered ourselves and our brethren that we might not enter therein.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
