A Guide to Japanese Buddhism

A GUIDE TO JAPANESE BUDDHISM – CONTENTS:

NOTES TO THE READER:

Japanese personal names are traditionally written surname first. In this book, the authors have followed this tradition for persons who lived before the Meiji Restoration of 1867. However, in keeping with modern Japanese editorial practice for publications in foreign languages, names of persons who lived after that date are written surname last.
The Japanese, Sanskrit, and Pali languages make distinction between long and short vowels that are often important to meaning. In this book (excluding Appendixes), long vowels are indicated by a long mark (-).
