'Gleanings in Buddha-Fields' is a collection of essays by Lafcadio Hearn, an author, journalist, and teacher who spent much of his life in Japan. This work reflects his deep fascination with Japanese culture and Buddhism. The essays cover a range of topics, from Hearn's observations of street life in Japan, to his exploration of Buddhist philosophy and folk songs. Through his descriptions and lyrical prose, Hearn invites readers on a journey through the Far East, offering a unique perspective on its people, art, and spirituality.
"This is a wonderful collection of Lafcadio Hearn's essays on Buddhism, Japan, and Japanese folklore." -- J.B. Hare
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This classic text about Buddhism in Japan by Lafcadio Hearn--on of the first Westerns to write about Japan--will be of great interests to scholars and Japanophiles alike. Lafcadio Hearn's books continue to charm and captivate readers, as the exotic subjects about which he wrote charmed and captivated him. Gleanings In Buddha-Fields presents more Hearn magic as he enters into the spirit of Buddhism as though he were born into it. Hearn says that if he were a god, dwelling in some old Izumo shrine on the summit of a hill, then "as air to the bird, as water to the fish, so would all substance be permeable to the essence of me. I should pass at will into the walls of my dwelling to swim in the long gold bath of a sunbeam, to thrill in the heart of a flower, to ride on the neck of a dragonfly." He writes of a trip to Kyoto, telling of hazy autumn rice fields, with dragonflies darting over the drooping grain; maples crimsoning above a tremendous gorge; ranges of peaks steeped in morning mist; and a peasant's cottage perched on the verge of some dizzy mountain road.
