FOREWORD

Together with many people throughout the world, we at the Hongwanji look forward to the twenty-first century as an age of religion: a time when the deepest insights and awareness of humankind will exert a decisive influence for peace and harmony in our closely interrelated lives.

Interaction and mutual exchange will provide oppor­tunities for people of all traditions to further their religious understanding and aspirations.

It appears that the path to awakening established by Shinran Shõnin is not yet widely known outside of Japan.’ We hope, therefore, that this volume might serve as a step­ping stone to the teachings of Shin Buddhism, and that readers approaching Shinran’s writings perhaps for the first time will find it of use in gaining an understanding of his works and thought.
