Discourse and Ideology in Medieval Japanese Buddhism by Taigen Dan Leighton
English | May 1, 2006 | ISBN: 0415359171 | 289 Pages | PDF | 3 MB

The medieval period of Japanese religious history is commonly known as one in which there was a radical transformation of the religious culture. This book suggests an alternate approach to understanding the dynamics of that transformation. One main topic of analysis focuses on what Buddhism - its practices and doctrines, its traditions and institutions - meant for medieval Japanese peoples themselves.
