In the wide range of Buddhist meditation and spirituality a very
special place is held by the practice of calling on the name of
Amitabha, or in Japanese Amida Buddha, using the simplest of
formulas, the nenbutsu. Japanese masters such as Honen, Shinran and
others made this the core of a profound spiritual experience which
has fascinated numberless followers ever since. The deeper meaning
of the nenbutsu has therefore become a major topic in Buddhist
thought which has been reflected on by various thinkers and
teachers to this day, especially in the context of Shin Buddhism.
In this book, which draws on classic articles first published in
The Eastern Buddhist, major historic proponents and masters of the
nenbutsu are introduced, in particular Shinran, Shoku, Ippen and
Rennyo. Further contributions, which set the work of these masters
into the wider context of Buddhist tradition, are in fact some of
the earliest Buddhist voicesA" to emerge from modern Japan into
global view. Yet the presentations of writers such as Sasaki
Gessho, Yamabe Shugaku and Sugihira Shizutoshi have a freshness and
an immediacy which speaks to us today.
