LIVING BUDDHISM IN JAPAN

A report of Interviews withTen Japanese Buddhist Leaders

Prepared by YOSHIRO .TAMURA

ASSOCIATE PROFFESSOR OF BUDDHISM TOYO UNIVERSITY

IN CORPORATION WITH WILLIAM P. WOODARD

 

FOREWORD

Most Japanese are traditionally Buddhists but there is a wide difference of opinion as to what Buddhism really means. In most cases people merely act unconsciously in accordance with past customs.

For some time International Institute for the Study of Religions has seen the necessity of clarifying what everyday Buddhism is. This is not apparent simply from a study of the sutras or even the founders` writings. It can only be acquired by means of direct contact with persons who are actually living as Buddhists. Even then it is not easy to study this subject which covers most of the Japanese people. Therefore, Mr. Yoshiro Tamura of Tokyo University was requested to interview persons, who are regarded as leaders of the Buddhist world, regarding what they think and what they are doing. This Bulletin is the result. Mr. Tamura`s questions sound mild but they hit the point. They are like a scalpels in an operation  on Buddhism. Buddhists reading this report will no doubt find much to think about in reference to the future  of their faith.
