Publisher's Synopsis
Study and Heard- Review of Japanese Buddhism, the biographical literature of Master Shengyan during his stay in Japan. After retreating in middle age, Master Sheng Yan resolutely determined to go to Japan to study, and was the first person to obtain a doctorate degree in Japan for a Chinese monk. During the study abroad, he not only devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, but also personally visited important practice sites and groups in Japan at that time, leaving precious first-hand historical materials on the study of modern Japanese Buddhism. This book is a detailed record of the life of a master studying abroad: insisting on being a monk, eating problems, reading and writing..., and an in-depth observation of Japanese Buddhism.
