The Ojoyoshu, written by the monk Genshin (942-1017), is one of the most important texts in the history of Japanese religions. It is the first comprehensive guide to the doctrine and practice of Pure Land Buddhism. Robert Rhodes draws on the latest scholarship to shed new light on the text, its author, and the tumultuous age in which it was written.
