Hall provides an in-depth exploration of the Buddhist cult of the warrior goddess Mārīcī; its evolution in India, China, and Japan; its texts and their audience; its rituals; and, finally, its efficacy as experienced by the Japanese warrior class—the bushi or samurai. In examining the psychological effects of these rituals on the Japanese warrior this volume moves beyond a narrowly focused examination of a religious cult. David A. Hall convincingly explains how these rituals aimed at preparing the warrior for combat and acted as an antidote for the toxicity of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) when the warrior returned from the battlefield.SamuraiReligious lifeJapanHistoryElectronic books.SamuraiReligious lifeHistory.294.3/42114Hall David A86645MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453757603321The Buddhist goddess Marishiten1957525UNINA
