Pearls of Emancipation: The Vision of Shin Buddhism by John Paraskevopoulos is now available at the publisher's website (Dharmakāya Books). A free e-text version is also available.
The book description is as follows:
This clear and accessible book, consisting of lectures and essays by the author, sets out the main teachings of Shin Buddhism (Jōdo Shinshū—the Buddhist tradition most widely followed in Japan) in a thorough and easy-to-understand way. It is written for people who are not trained in religion and encourages them to think about life while challenging common ideas about reality. Being brief and self-contained, it provides a glimpse of this often-neglected tradition. If you are new to Shin Buddhism or looking for a more in-depth understanding, this book offers lasting spiritual insight into the tradition of "Other-Power."
