What is Buddhism of Wisdom & Faith: Pure Land Principles and Practice about?
BUDDHISM OF WISDOM & FAITH This Pure Land treatise is, to our knowledge, the first and only compedium of Pure Land teaching and thought currently available in a Western language. In the tradition of the Avatamsaka Sutra (which D.T. Suzuki described as the epitome of Buddhist thought, sentiment and experience), the author sometimes shifts from one plane of meaning to another, at times down-to-earth, at times metaphysical, so as to reach readers at every level and to sever attachment to his very words. It is in this light that certain paradoxes already familiar to students of Zen (illusory but not non-existant, recitation with no thought of recitation, etc.) should be viewed and understood.
