Reflections on Buddhist-Christian Dialogue and the Liberation of Women
Shapers of Japanese Buddhism
More than thirteen centuries of clergy, laity, and social conditions interacted to mold Japan's Buddhism. Today's resulting characteristics, which distinguish it from its mainland sources, include a proliferation of independent sects, emphasis on religion for lay members, and de-emphasis of clerical codes. The twenty main biographies and seventy-five sketches presented in this book span the sixth through twentieth centuries. They reveal both the …
A Vision Betrayed
Rennyo
Seeing Traces of the Ox
Once when the great God Siva sported with his equally great consort, the goddess Parvati, she covered Siva's eyes with her hands. Suddenly, the whole universe was plunged into darkness, for when Siva's eyes are closed, the universe is like a black hole with no light anywhere-except for the hidden fire in Siva's third eye that always threatens the destruction of worlds. Hindu deities are allseeing and are said never to close their eyes. From the n…

The Modern Buddhist-Christian Dialogue
A discussion of contemporary Buddhist-Christian dialogue between process theologians and Pure Land Buddhists, this study analyzes their transformation and theological structures in the post-Christian era of religious and secular pluralism
Faith as Knowledge in the Teaching of Shinran Shonin and Martin Luther
It is now common knowledge that parallels exist between Shinran Shonin's teaching of salvation by faith through Amida Buddha's other-power (Japanese, taniki) alone and Martin Luther's interpretation of the Pauline Augustinian conception of salvation by faith through God's grace alone. Karl Barth, in Church Dogmatics, once acknowledged the parallels between Luther's and Shinran's conceptions of faith, even as he rejected their theological importan…

Nichirin's Three Secrets
NICHIRIN'S THREE SECRETS by PAUL O. INGRAM Tacoma, Washington U. S. A. One of the most interesting, and yet little understood figures in the history of Japanese Buddhism is Nichiren (I222-I282), the founder of a unique Buddhist tradition which bears his name (Nichiren Shu). Perhaps the most charismatic personality in the history of Japanese religions, he has been labled everything from "prophet" 1) and "true Buddha" 2) to "personal and tribal ego…
To John Cobb
In his recent book, Christ in a Pluralistic Age, John B. Cobb, Jr, has taken seriously, and in a radical way, the pluralistic context as established by the history of religions (Religionswissenschaft) within which the enterprise of theology must be today undertaken. Perhaps most importantly, he was offered us a context for rethinking the central issue of Christian faith, Christology, which not only affirms the religious insights of non-Christian …
Method in the History of Religions
“The notion that the historian of religions should seek disinterested, impersonal, descriptive knowledge about religious ‘matters of fact’ understood as existing independently of concrete persons should be outrightly rejected as an inadequate metaphor. ... No methodology is developed prior to the process of understanding and discovery ... for method is essentially a way of interpreting the implications of insights which have their roots in the ta…

usually centered upon the life and teachings of H6nen Sh6nin (II33I212 and Shinran Sh6nin (1173-1262), the founders of J6do Shti (Pure Land School) and J6do Shinshil (True Pure Land School) respectively. 1) At the same time, there have been significant attempts to understand Japanese Pure Land Buddhism within the context of its earlier developments in India and China. 2) In spite of this, the usual presupposition underlying current discussions of…
