Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism by Jacqueline I Stone
This study moves beyond the treatment of the original enlightenment doctrine as abstract philosophy to explore its historical dimension. Drawing on a wealth of medieval primary sources and modern Japanese scholarship, it places this discourse in its ritual, institutional and social contexts.
Every now and then a book comes along that impacts its field in such profound ways that it is a certainty to appear in virtually every subsequent bibliography and to be footnoted ubiquitously[This] will no doubt be such a text.... For any student of Japanese religion, this is a 'must read.'" — Journal of the American Academy of Religion
