The philosophy of Buddhism, originating in India, has undergone
considerable changes in its adoption in the Far East. It has, in
Japan, assumed a more practical aspect, and has come to play an
important role in the everyday life of action. But in this process
Japanese Buddhism has split itself into many sects with greatly
differing doctrines, though all profess a method destined to
elevate the soul and a method of action. The understanding of this
spiritual movement is an important key to the understanding of the
contemporary Japanese state of mind, and The Buddhist Sects of
Japan gives the first complete account of it in the English
language.
