A Short History of the Twelve Japanese Buddhist Sects by Nanjio Bunyio is a comprehensive guide to the history, teachings, and practices of the twelve major Buddhist sects in Japan. The book covers the origins of Buddhism in Japan, the introduction of different sects from China and Korea, and the development of uniquely Japanese forms of Buddhism. Each chapter focuses on a specific sect, including the Tendai, Shingon, Pure Land, and Zen traditions, and provides an overview of their beliefs, practices, and key figures. The book also explores the role of Buddhism in Japanese society, including its influence on art, literature, and politics. Written by a renowned Buddhist scholar, A Short History of the Twelve Japanese Buddhist Sects is an accessible and informative introduction to the rich and complex world of Japanese Buddhism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
