The Other Side of Zen: A Social History of Soto Zen Buddhism in Tokugawa Japan - Buddhisms: A Princeton University Press Series
Duncan Ryuken Williams
Popular understanding of Zen Buddhism typically involves a stereotyped image of isolated individuals in meditation, contemplating nothingness. This book presents the 'other side of Zen', by examining the movement's growth during the Tokugawa period (1600-1867) in Japan and by shedding light on the Japanese religious landscape during the era.
