This work shows how the Mahayanistic views of life and the world
differs markedly from that of the Theravada, which is generally
taken as Buddhism by occidentals, to explain how the religion of
Buddha has adapted itself to its environment in the Far East. For
this purpose, out of thirteen Japanese sects, the Zen sect has been
singled out, not only because of the great influence it has
exercised on the nation, but also because of the unique position it
holds among the established religious systems of the world.
As regards Japan, it was first introduced into the island as the
faith for the Samurai or the military class, and molded the
characters of many distinguished soldiers and statesmen.
