A scholarly study of the evolution of Mahayana Buddhism in Japan. The author, Arthur Lloyd, says in the preface to the edition: I can only plead for my book that it is the work of a pioneer, and every pioneer knows that his labours must necessarily be crude and imperfect. I foresee all the strictures that criticism will pass upon my labours, and shall be more than content if what I have written stimulates others to further research. More should have been said about the lives and teachings of Hon
...en, Shinran, and other leaders of the Jodo or Pure Land sects.
