‘Great Living – In the Pure Encounter Between Master and Disciple’ by Kemmyo Taira Sato.

Paper back: £17.00, Hard Cover: £22.00

A volume of essays and commentaries on the Japanese spiritual classic, the Tannisho by the Director of Three Wheels Temple, Rev. Kemmyo Taira Sato. The Tannisho is one of the most famous texts in the Shin Buddhist tradition and formed the basis of a long series of study meetings led by Rev. Sato at Three Wheels Temple. Rev. Sato’s new English translation of the text of the Tannisho, which has been praised for its clearness and accuracy, together with his meticulously detailed commentary is a unique and profound appreciation of the Tannisho from the perspective of the living encounter between teacher and student that lies at the heart of the Shin Buddhist teaching of Shinran Shonin.
