About this product

About this product

Product Information

The author does t over-estimate the importance of this little book: it is thing more than its title claims. It consists of three lectures given to popular audiences. It represents, however, a considerable amount of work in an almost virgin field. It has involved hard journeys to remote mountain monasteries, and days and nights of conversation and inquiry with many monks and priests. It is t, however, a profound study r an exhaustive presentation. It barely touches many a subject, which would alone furnish more material than could be treated in three such lectures. It but scratches the surface. The material which it presents is however new. Outside of Mrs. Bishop's account of her visit to the Diamond Mountain monasteries and scattered references in viii her book to a few local temples, there is almost thing on the subject of Korean Buddhism accessible to English readers. A glance at our bibliography will show that t one of the books or articles there listed appeared in the West. All were printed at Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo and publications appearing at those centers are little kwn outside. To aid serious readers, who may care to secure them, the publishers' names are given in our list. The author has carefully read all the items listed and ackwledges indebtedness to all the authors.
