◆ This is an old book published in 1936, but those interested are welcome to use it. ◎ Japanese Buddhism, which has lived and worked as the Japanese spirit, and the faith and teachings of Shinran, who lived and worked within it, are still very much alive and working today in their Japanese spiritual thought and its object. Shinran was a great saint who was born in the Kamakura period and laid the foundation for Hongan-ji Temple. To contemplate Shinran's teachings and read his scriptures, there is no other way than to inquire directly from a "good person" and to revere the Kyogyoshinsho, which is the embodiment of that faith. For practitioners of this kind, I have, with all my heart, indicated the sources of the cited scriptures and made them easy to read. (Excerpt from the author's preface, February 1935) ☆Contents☆ 1.
