He was the founder of Shingon or Esoteric Buddhism in Japan, a civil engineer, and a wandering saint. Many achievements have been attributed to him including this collection of 48 maxims, which some scholars say are gleanings of the Chinese classics. Whichever the case, Kobo Daishi is a cultural hero in Japan and a man of incontestable genius and extraordinary accomplishments. School children throughout Japan for nearly a millennium began their education by learning these wise sayings in the Jitsugokyo, \"Teachings of the Words of Truth.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Kawada, Kobo Daishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500315494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500315498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.06d","brand":"Henry Kawada","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979738054911,"sku":"9781500315498","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_095fa45e-4917-4a72-89c2-a7e873153497.jpg?v=1683246717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jitsugokyo-henry-kawada-9781500315498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
