This little work is a collection of some of the lectures delivered
by the Right Reverend Soyen Shaku., Lord Abbot of Engaku-ji and
Kencho-ji, Kamakura, Japan, during his sojourn in this country,
1905-1906. He came here early in the summer of 1905 and stayed with
friends on the Pacific coast until March in the following year.
Lectures on Buddhism were frequently delivered at the request of
his hostess, Mrs. Alexander Russell of San Francisco, for the
benefit of her friends. He lectured on the Sutra of Forty-two
Chapters, and naturally chose the texts for his sermons from this
most popular among the canonical books. As His Reverence did not
speak English, the burden of interpreting his speeches fell upon my
shoulders. During his stay on the coast, His Reverence was
occasionally invited by his countrymen, scattered throughout the
State, to such places as the Buddhist Mission and the Japanese
Consulate in San Francisco, to Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno, San
Jose, and Oakland. Wherever he went, his addresses were most
enthusiastically received and greatly appreciated by the Japanese
residents, and by Americans when his speeches were repeated in
English.
