DOC Crossroads of Freedom: Slaves and Freed People in Bahia; Brazil; 1870-1910 by Walter Fraga in History

Description

Of all the great religions; Buddhism has focused most intensively on the aspect of religion that we call spirituality. No religion has set a higher value on the states of spiritual insight and liberation; and none has set forth so methodically and with such a wealth of reflection the various paths and disciplines by which such states are reached. This volume; the second in the series; takes up further developments of Buddhism in China; Korea; and Japan; including Ch'an (Zen) and new Buddhist movements. It presents the Chinese realization of enlightenment here and now; and the practical; down-to-earth terms in which the enlightened vision was expressed and enacted.
