Honji Suijaku and Shinbutsu Shūdo
Honji Suijaku and Shinbutsu Shūdo
Can someone point me to references on the doctrine of Honji Suijaku as it was delineated in Japanese Buddhism, especially in regards to the practice of Shinbutsu Shūdo? I know the outlines, but I want to have a firmer grasp of it. Any information would be appreciated.

Head on down to the university library of your choice and check out:

Wouldn't you know it? NCSU doesn't have the book, and it's selling on Amazon for $120 (I signed up with a student account, so I get a discount on it).
It's times like these that I remember that I have the best parents in the world, because they will get me this as a gift if I ask. Especially since it'll be useful for my Master's thesis.

Don't buy it. If you're a student at NCSU, you can order it through inter-library loan (ask a librarian how). Or visit UNC or Duke if they have it, and just photocopy the thing; it would be cheaper.
(whispered: you might be able to find it online somewhere)

Always use Worldcat to find where a book is: I did https://www.worldcat.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's available at Duke, UNC and Meredith College, dead easy to request via library loan.
