New Mahayana Buddhism for a Post-Modern World

In 1959 Newsweek reported that a young Zen monk and scholar threatened to shake Japanese Buddhism by publishing the "secret answers" to the koan. Though he never took that step, Akizuki Ryomin did make good on his promise to devote himself to "breaking the formalism that constricts Zen and exposing the fake masters." Here, he brings his ideas on reform together into a proclamation of a "New Mahayana."Akizuki, Ryomin is the author of 'New Mahayana Buddhism for a Post-Modern World' with ISBN 9780895819000 and ISBN 0895819007.
