This volume presents a range of writings on Shin Buddhism (Jōdo Shinshū), the largest school of Buddhism in Japan. It includes philosophical reflections, talks, essays and pastoral advice written over a twenty-year period. While the focus is very much on the contemplative and devotional dimensions of this tradition, attention has also been given to ensure that the principal tenets of Shin are thoroughly explained as well as aiming to make them accessible and compelling to a modern lay audience.
