An accessible guide to the core teaching of Japanese Buddhist master, Shinran. Nagapriya brings alive for a contemporary audience the 'Other Power' teaching of Shinran, the thirteenth-century founder of Jodo Shinshu, the most widely practised branch of Buddhism in Japan.
In this pioneering book, in turns poetic and philosophical, Nagapriya shows how the insights into the existential condition offered by Shinran can transform our understanding of what Buddhist practice consists in, and what it means to awaken to our ultimate concern. Shinran (1173 - 1263) is one of the most important thinkers of Japanese Buddhist history, and founder of the Jodo Shinshu Pure Land school. Nagapriya explores Shinran's spirituality and teachings through close readings, confessional narrative, and thoughtful interpretation. This book is an invitation to reimagine Shinran's religious universe, not for the sake of historical curiosity, but as an exercise that has the potential to remake us in the light of our ultimate concerns.
