S. A. THIS BOOK ON KOREAN BUDDHISM IS TO MY FRIEND AND FELLOW-STUDENT "KUGEN"-OGURI SAN OF TOKYO INTRODUCTION author does not over-estimateTHE importance of this little book:the it titleis nothing more than its claims. It consists three lectures given/of to popular audiences, w^ith the accompani-' ment of many illustrations. It represents, however, a considerable amount of vs^ork in an almost virgin field. It has involved hard journeys to remote mountain mon- asteries, and days and nights of conversa- tion and inquiry with many monks and priests. It is not, however, a profound study nor an exhaustive presentation. It barely touches many a subject, which would alone furnish more material than could be treated in three such lectures. It but scratches the surface. The material which it presents is how- ever new. Outside of Mrs. Bishop's ac- count of her visit to the Diamond Moun- tain monasteries and scattered references in [vil] INTRODUCTION her book to a few local temples, there is almost nothing on the subject of Korean Buddhism accessible to English readers.
