Condition: clean copy, edge wear.Content: A detailed study of the Obaku branch of Japanese Zen. Beginning with the founding of the sect in Japan by Chinese monks in the 17th century, it described the conflicts and maneuvering with the Buddhist and secular communities that led to the emergence of Obaku as a distinctive institution during the early Tokugawa period. The author explores a wide range of texts and includes excerpts from important primary documents. The author provides a portrait of the founding Chinese leadership and the first generation of Japanese converts, whose work enabled the fledgling sect to grow and take its place besides existing branches of the closely related Rinzai sect.282 pages, notes, glossary, bibliography, index., University of Hawaii Press, 2.5<
