First published in 2005. Written as a companion to Eliot's 3-volume
Hinduism and Buddhism, this title begins with a brief survey of
Buddhism as practiced in India and China before delving deep into
the history of Buddhism in Japan. It traces the evolution of the
Buddhist movement in Japan from its 'official' introduction in AD
552, through the Nara, Heian and Tokugawa periods, detailing the
rises of the various Buddhist sects in Japan, including Nichiren
and Zen. Thoroughly researched and well-written, it was the last
work published by Eliot, one of the great scholars of Eastern
religion and philosophy at the time.
