Shinran, the thirteenth-century founder of Japan’s True Pure Land school, wrote these hymns in praise of Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Light, and of the paradise promised to those who trust in him. Translated by S. Yamabe and L. Adams Beck, they move through the great sutras of the Pure Land, with an introduction to Buddhism in China and Japan.
