This book offers a rare combination of philosophical depth, coupled with lively spiritual insights that are accessible to a non-academic audience. Written by a Shin Buddhist minister seventy years ago, it is still very much relevant to the world in which we find ourselves today, in that it reminds us of a richer perspective on life that we have largely lost in the modern world. Readers are given a short but reliable overview of general Buddhism’s fundamental teachings, before being shown how the vision of Shinran (1173–1263) is, in many ways, the true fulfillment of the Dharma as taught by the Buddha.
