Buddhism in Japan
Hey, is your paper revised yet? You might be interested to know that Esoteric Buddhism in Japan (Shingon) is actually the popular form of Buddhism. Shingon is the root of many popular Buddhist chants, stories, and sutras. The Zen and Pure Land sects, on the other hand, favor not teaching anything to the laity beyond a handy phrase or way of sitting. Shii (tock) 04:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
