Book Summary
Although Indian and Tibetan versions of tantric Buddhism are increasingly recognized, the East Asian variations on this practice remain largely overlooked. The only book to present the entire breadth of tantric Buddhism in East Asia, this collection remedies that situation with 12 key essays drawn from rare sources. Organized into four sections -- China and Korea, Japan, Deities and Practices, and Influences on Japanese Religion -- the book brings together a "critical mass" of scholarship, with the potential to create a sea change in the understanding of this subject
