Note | Listening to Shin Buddhism: Starting Points of Modern Dialogue. Edited by Michael Pye. Equinox Publishing, April 1, 2012. 320 pages. ISBN-10: 1908049170 ISBN-13: 978-1908049179 |
Abstract | This anthology of historically important essays is the end product of a cooperative effort between the editor, Michael Pye, and the staff of the Eastern Buddhist. As Pye notes in the introduction, the Eastern Buddhist not only introduced pioneering interpretations of Buddhist tradition—particularly Zen and Pure Land Buddhism—to the West, but also provided a literary environment for interaction with non‐Japanese, non‐Buddhist, mostly Christian scholars. In the process, as Pye notes, a process of Buddhist‐Christian dialogue was set in motion, interrupted by World War II, and resumed again in the postwar period. Thus this book brings together a wide‐ranging selection of important essays dating from the 1950s to the 1970s that are still influencing contemporary Buddhist‐Christian dialogue. Anyone wishing to gain an historical perspective of Zen and Shin Buddhist contributions to this dialogue should read these essays. |
