Facets of Buddhism is a collection of essays written by one of the
pre-eminent Japanese scholars in the fields of Buddhism and
comparative religion. The ten essays are loosely linked together by
the common themes of dependent co-origination (pratitya-samutpada);
of the effect of Madhyamika and Yogacara ideas on Japanese
literature and culture; and of the tensions and harmonies amongst
different religious traditions and different Buddhist sects. The
work provides access to a wide range of Japanese scholarly exchange
and opinion, much of which has until now been available only in
Japanese; offers a presentation of the different Chinese, Tibetan,
and Japanese interpretations of important passages from classical
Indian Buddhist texts; and gives a comparison of meditation
techniques described by Indian, Chinese and Tibetan writers.
Drawing on his experiences during a long and distinguished career
as a teacher and scholar, Professor Iida provides insights into the
place of women and the feminine principle in Buddhism, the
convergence of folk beliefs and philosophical Buddhism in Japan,
the rise of the modern Japanese Buddhist sects and, through a
comparison of Buddhist, Christian and Sufi-Yogic practices and
modern psychology, the difference, similarities and interdependence
of the different faiths of humankind.
