Japan during the Kamakura Period

by Long, through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org
This fine piece relates the "revolutionary" changes in Buddhist culture during Japan after the classic Nara and Heian phases. It is here that the most influential and long-lasting sects of Zen and Jodo or "Pureland" Buddhisms come to dominate the stage. The changes in China (are as ever) recapitulated in Japan, but with a twist...the old sects remain, albeit in a lingering state, in Japan, whereas the persecution of Buddhism in China prevented the continuation of a number of the classic Chinese schools.
