Wisdom of the East - Buddhist Psalms - Translated from the Japanese of Shinran Shonin

Autor S. Yamabe, Shinran Shonin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 2019
"Wisdom of the East" contains an English translation of the Jodo-Wasan, three volumes of Japanese verses originally written by Shinran Shonin (1173 - 1263). The verses are called J¿do Wasan, Koso Wasan, and Shozomatsu Wasan, all of which constitute a celebration of the essence of J¿do Shinsh¿ (also known as 'Shin Buddhism' or 'Pure Land Buddhism'). Contents include: "Lauding the Infinite One", "Of Paradise", "Concerning the Great Sutra", "Concerning the Lesser Sutra", "Of the Many Sutras Concerning the Infinite One", "Concerning the Welfare of the Present World", "Of Thanksgiving for Nagarjuna, the Great Teacher of India", "Wherein with Lamentation I Make my Confession", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Notă biografică

Japanese Buddhist monk Shinran Shonin was born in Hino (now a portion of Fushimi, Kyoto) on May 21, 1173, at the stormy end of the Heian period, and lived during the Kamakura period. He died on January 16, 1263. Hen's student Shinran founded the Japanese Buddhist sect that would later become known as Jodo Shinshu. Shinran Shonin was born in 1173 to Lord and Lady Arinori, from a branch of the Fujiwara clan. In 1181 he entered the Sh?ren-in temple near present-day Maruyama Park in Kyoto at age nine. Became a disciple of H?nen in 1201 and attained enlightenment through Amida's Vow. In 1207, H?nen Shinran was stripped of his monastic name and exiled after being accused of using nembutsu practice as a cover-up for sexual liaisons. Having been stripped of monastic identity, Shinran came to understand himself as neither monk nor layman. His most significant work, Kyogyoshinsho, is a series of selections and commentaries on Buddhist sutras. In 1234 Shinran returned to Kyoto with his daughter Kakushinni but disowned his eldest son Zenran. On March 14, 2008, a little wooden figure at the Jrakuji temple in Shimogy-Ku, Kyoto, was discovered to contain what is thought to be some of Shinran's ash remains.
