This book delves into the details of the Pure Land or Shin school of Buddhism that originated in India, moved on to China and was later perfected in Japan as the Shin school of thought. Essentially meant for the layman, it shows how one can lead a spiritual life in the material world without being overwhelmed by it, like the lotus that manages to retain it's pristine beauty inspite of growing in muck and surrounded by a lot if it.

Shin is the uniquely Japanese flowering of the type of Buddhism known as "Pure Land." It originated in the thirteenth century with the charismatic and prophetic figure Shinran (1172-1263), whose interpretation of the traditional Pure Land teachings was extremely influential in his own lifetime and remain so today. In a period when Japanese Buddhism was dominated by an elitist monastic establishment, Shinran's Shin teaching became a way of liberation for all people, regardless of age, class, or gender. Although Shin is one of Japan's greatest religious contributions--and is still the most widely practiced form of Buddhism in Japan--it remains little known in the West. In this book, based on several lectures he gave in the 1950s, D. T. Suzuki illuminates the deep meaning of Shin and its rich archetypal imagery, providing a scholarly and affectionate introduction to this sometimes misunderstood tradition of Buddhist practice.

El shin es la única variedad japonesa del tipo de budismo conocido
como Tierra Pura. Su origen se remonta al siglo XIII y a la figura
carismática y profética de Shinran (1172-1263), cuya interpretación
de la doctrina y las enseñanzas tradicionales no sólo influyó
enormemente en su propio tiempo, sino que ha conservado su
fuerza incluso hasta nuestros días. En una época en que el budismo
japonés estaba dominado por una élite monástica, Shinran propuso
un camino de liberación que democratizó la doctrina y extendió su
influencia entre todas las capas de la población, sin distinción de edad,
clase o sexo. Aunque el shin es una de las grandes contribuciones religiosas
de Japón –y todavía es la forma de budismo más practicada en ese país--, es
aún muy poco conocida en Occidente. En este libro, basado en algunas
conferencias pronunciadas en los años cincuenta, D.T. Suzuki ilumina
los significados más profundos del shin, así como su rica imaginería
arquetípica, y logra una obra tan erudita como accesible, una valiosa
introducción a una de las prácticas budistas menos estudiadas pero,
a la vez, más importantes.
Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki (1879-1966) dedicó una buena parte de
sus esfuerzos investigadores a difundir el budismo en
Occidente. Es autor de más de treinta libros, entre los que des-
tacan Vivir el zen, La práctica del monje·zen, Budismo zen, el
ámbito del zen, Introducción al budismo zen o el zen y la cultura
japonesa, este último igualmente publicado por Paidós.
