Beschreibung
In 2015, Ryukoku University founded the Research Center for World Buddhist Cultures to serve as an international research platform for Buddhist Studies. Since its inception, the center has published a series of academic publications, as well as several collections of lectures aimed at a general audience. The collection of papers presented here as Handing Down the Flame of the Dharma: Rites and Practices at the Sacred Sites of Japanese Buddhism-the first volume to be published by the center in a foreign language-were originally published in two volumes titled Kaihogyo and Shugendo (2016) and Shunie: Omizutori and Hanaeshiki (2020). Its primary aim is to enrich our understanding of Japanese Buddhism by presenting vivid, first-person accounts of concrete rites and practices. Written by the very people who actually perform these rites and augmented by previously unpublished photographs, these accounts open up a world that is usually inaccessible to the general public.
