Spirituality Editorial Review

The book "Zen at War 2nd Edition" by Brian Victoria provides a detailed examination of the alliance between Zen Buddhist leadership and the Japanese militarists during World War II. The author sheds light on the role of Zen and other Japanese Buddhist sects during the war, discussing the accommodation of militarism by the Buddhist establishment in Japan. The book is well-researched and offers a critical perspective on Japanese militarism. It challenges the notion of Zen Buddhism as gentle and non-violent, revealing the dark side of Zen leaders' behavior during the war. The author's honesty and careful examination of the issue and individuals involved make for an enlightening read. This book serves as a reminder for practitioners of Buddhism to Constantly evaluate their own practice. Overall, the reception of "Zen at War 2nd Edition" has been positive. Readers appreciate the painstaking research and readable style of the book, commending the author for his courage in exposing the dark side of Japanese Zen. It is seen as a wake-up call for those who naively idolize famous Japanese Zen teachers as "enlightened" masters. The book serves as an object lesson for anyone interested in Buddhism, shining a light on the perverted use of Buddhist teachings for militaristic purposes. The author's efforts are seen as heroic, and the book is highly recommended to those wanting to learn more about the role of Zen Buddhism during World War II.
