Gleanings in Buddha-Fields

This collection of stories takes the reader on a journey into the soul of Japan and enters into the spirit of Buddhism. The accumulation of experience over numerous lifetimes and rebirths is a central theme, as the Japanese belief of reincarnation directly shapes their thinking and culture. This edition was written a hundred years ago by Lafcadio Hearn, the author credited with opening up Meji Era Japan to the world through his insightful books.
