Description

In The Buddhist Goddess Marishiten, David A. Hall explores the evolution and impact of the cult of the warrior goddess Marici. This study tracks her development from India through China and into Japan, examining the specific texts, rituals, and audiences that shaped her worship. Moving beyond a simple religious study, this volume investigates how these rituals affected the Japanese warrior class, known as the bushi or samurai. Hall analyzes the psychological effects of these practices, explaining how they served to prepare warriors for combat and acted as an antidote to the pressures of battle. This book provides a deep look at the intersection of Buddhist ritual and the lived experience of the Japanese warrior.
