He extensively studied the Pure Land school of Buddhism, particularly the Shinshu sect founded by Shinran Shonen (b. 1173, d. 1262). This book centers around Lloyd's translation of the 'Shoshinge' or Hymn of True Faith, followed by extended commentary on the text which illuminates many aspects of Shinshu belief and practice.\nLloyd, with his unique perspective, found numerous similarities between Christianity and Buddhism at deep levels. Lloyd also wrote The Creed of Half Japan, also available at this site.\nPRODUCTION NOTES: Short passages or words in Japanese script in the text are replaced by a single hash sign (#). The Japanese text of the Shoshinge on pages 36-46 is presented as JPG page images.--John Bruno Hare, December 22, 2008.","title":"Shinran and His Work Index","type":"page"}
