Key Concepts
As Buddhism evolved in Japan, it split into different sects that appealed to different classes. Pure Land Buddhism became popular among the common people because it promised salvation and a paradise afterlife through the simple chanting of Amida Buddha’s name.
In contrast, the samurai class favored Zen Buddhism . Zen emphasized rigorous self discipline, meditation , and intuition rather than studying texts. Its focus on mental focus and overcoming the fear of death made it the perfect spiritual training for a warrior facing the dangers of the battlefield.
