Pye/Listening, 8. The Meaning of Salvation in the Doctrine of Pure Land Buddhism (1965)

Following Kaneko’s article “Shin Buddhism as I believe it,” we look ahead to his further article on “The Meaning of Salvation in the Doctrine of Pure Land Buddhism,” which appeared in 1965. Thus by bringing altogether three articles by Kaneko, we introduce in this volume a respected “voice” of Shin Buddhism which, bridging the tragic war years, sought to engage international attention in long-term continuity.
