Book Synopsis Rennyo and the Roots of Modern Japanese Buddhism by : Mark L. Blum
Book excerpt: Rennyo Shonin (1415-1499) is considered the 'second founder' of Shin Buddhism. This book deals with the major questions surrounding the phenomenal growth of Hongaji under Rennyo's leadership, such as the source of charisma, the soteriological implications of his thought against the background of other movements in Pure Land Buddhism, and more.
