PREFACE

Translation of Buddhist scriptures requires tremendous energy and incessant study in order to convey the flavor of the original texts. We at the Ryukoku Translation Center have been focus­ing our attention on retaining faithfulness to the original texts, and yet achieving fluency of the translation, goals which tend to be contradictory. In order to overcome this contradiction, a detailed introduction, annotation, and supplementary notes have been included with this trans­lation. Although this format may appear clumsy and onerous to the general reader, it is because of the inclusion of these notes that our translations have come to regarded as “trustworthy”.

This translation of Shinran’s Shozomatsu Wasan, “Hymns on the Right, Semblance, and Last Dharma-ages,” is the result of many hours of devoted effort by the members of the Ryukoku Translation Center staff, and we sincerely hope that it will contribute to a fuller understanding of Shinran’s thought.
