Very well written- simple yet captivatingBy Bolokan LucianWhen I've searched for a general introduction for the subject of Japanese Buddhism; I wanted to find a readable; fluent in style and information kind of a book. Among the first results I've found was Tamura's book. After I've looked at the table of content and saw the full scale of this impressive overlook into the subject; I decided to purchase it with no hesitation.I found the historical details and the philosophical explanations to be very clear; especially when comparing various Buddhist sects as "pure land"; " Ten Dai" ;"shingon" and even "future Buddhism".For me; the book was a "must" as I was starting writing my seminar on Japanese Buddhism; and I found it captivating not only in style; but also in the depth of the explanations it gave.8 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Historical view of Japanese BuddhismBy Adelin McmillinI wish I had this book in college going for a degree in Asian Humanities. The historic facts were well researched and yet; plainly written for academic understanding. Well done.
