Andreasen, Esben : Popular Buddhism in Japan
- description
- additional information
The field of Pure Land Studies and JOdo Shin Buddhism, in particular, has begun increasingly to attract interest among scholars of religion, theologians and ordinary people, because it combines a highly developed symbol system, a devotional focus and philosophic, reflective thought. Once considered by foreign observers as a debased, popular form of Buddhism because of its mass appeal, more recent and accurate research has shown that its exponents may be critical thinkers, as well as committed followers, and that its insights into the human condition should not be underestimated merely because of its reputation as one of the largest Buddhist denominations of Japan.
