Written as a companion to Eliot's 3-volume Hinduism and Buddhism
this text begins with an overview of Buddhism as practiced in India
and China before presenting an in depth account of the history of
Buddhism in Japan. It follows the development 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.
