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.
