Produced by David Starner and the Online Distributed Proofreader's Team "Buddhist Psalms" translated from the Japanese of Shinran Shonin by S. Yamabe and L. Adams Beck is a collection of devotional writings likely produced in the early 20th century as part of the "Wisdom of the East" series. This work reflects the spiritual beliefs of Mahayana Buddhism, particularly the teachings of Shinran, who emphasized the compassionate figure of Amida Buddha and the path to salvation. The psalms serve as prayers and meditations for followers, exploring themes of faith, doubt, righteousness, and the nature of enlightenment. The book comprises various psalms that address core tenets of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, including the importance of relying on Amida Buddha's grace for salvation rather than one's own efforts. It discusses the nature of sin and righteousness, the transience of life, and the promise of enlightenment in the Pure Land. Each psalm eloquently conveys aspirations for compassion, wisdom, and a deep connection to the divine, often appealing directly to the reader's understanding of their spiritual shortcomings and the profound mercy of Amida. Through lyrical language, Shinran's teachings are presented not only as philosophical reflections but as practical guides for daily spiritual practice.
