Behold the Buddha: Religious Meanings of Japanese Buddhist Icons
James C. Dobbins
Images of the Buddha are everywhere, but what these images mean largely depends on the background and circumstance of those viewing them. James Dobbins invites readers to imagine how premodern Japanese Buddhists understood and experienced icons in temple settings long before the advent of museums and the internet.
