This book suggests an alternate approach to understanding the dynamics of that transformation. One main topic of analysis focuses on what Buddhism - its practices and doctrines, its traditions and institutions - meant for medieval Japanese peoples themselves. This is achieved by using the notions of \u003cem\u003ediscourse\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eideology \u003c\/em\u003eand juxtaposing various topics on shared linguistic practices and discursive worlds of medieval Japanese Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollating contributions from outstanding scholars in the field of Buddhist Studies, the editors have created an important work that builds on preliminary work on rethinking the importance and meaning of Kamakura Buddhism published recently in English, and adds greatly to the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard K.
