The Senchaku Hongan Nembutsu Shū: A Collection of Passages on the Nembutsu Chosen in the Original Vow is the principle work by Hōnen (Genkū), founder of the Pure Land School (Jōdo Shū) in Japan. Drawing onThe Three Pure Land Sutras, and earlier works in the Mahayana canon, it espouses the recitation of the name of Amitāyus as the fundamental cause for rebirth in the Pure Land. Complete in one volume.
A reminder of the BDK's origins in Pure Land Buddhism, this is a great translation of one of the key works in the history of Japanese Buddhism
