"An original and highly stimulating approach. Honen, the founder of
the Pure Land sect, has been greatly underestimated and neglected
in modern studies of Japanese Buddhism. Notable for making
connections with Christian liberation theology and for establishing
the social significance of the Pure Land movement, this book will
make excellent reading in courses on world religion, Japanese
religion, and religion and society."--Alfred Bloom, author of
"Shinran's Gospel of Pure Grace
"Soho Machida's original, provocative study of Honen secures his
place in Japanese intellectual history; and his bold advocacy of
Pure Land practice forms a watershed in Japanese Buddhism, dividing
the old and new, hierarchical and egalitarian, elitist and popular
faith."--Taitetsu Unno
"Machida has thrusted Honen to his deserved place at the center
stage of Pure Land Buddhist development. We are drawn closer to
Honen as a person and a spiritual genius who not only established
Pure Land as an independent tradition but also impacted the overall
Japanese Buddhist ethos of his time. The Wests perception of Pure
Land Buddhism has been forever transformed by this superb
work."--Kenneth K. Tanaka, Musashino Womens University, Tokyo
