Description:
In 12th century Japan, Buddhism was a young religion. Different schools offered rigorous paths to spiritual enlightenment: the Shingon school demanded demanding practices; Zen schools emphasized prolonged meditation before a blank wall; and Tendai focused on complex philosophy. These paths were designed for scholars and nobles who could dedicate their lives to seeking liberation. This is the context in which the young Shinran (1173-1263) encountered Buddhism, searching for an alternative to the violence and constant civil wars plaguing Japan.
