"In this book, Charles B. Jones provides the first English language translation of
one of the most important texts of modern Chinese Buddhism: monk-reformer Taixu's
'On the Establishment of the Pure Land in the Human Realm'. The essay, written in
1926 as part of Taixu's attempt to revive Chinese Buddhism with a Humanistic Buddhist
approach, incorporates Western thought into a reconstruction of the idea of the 'Pure
Land in the human realm'. In his commentary on the text, Jones argues that it has
been widely misunderstood and mischaracterized. Jones demonstrates that, besides laying
out the very modern idea of the Pure Land in the human realm as a slogan for Buddhist
engagement with the problems of the modern world, the essay does not, as commonly
assumed, discourage practices leading to rebirth in the Pure Land. He also shows that
the 'human realm' can mean anywhere in Buddhist cosmology that humans reside, and
that the essay's attempts to reconcile Buddhism with modern science is tentative and
incomplete. Jones reveals that the essay promotes visions of both paradises and utopias,
and that Taixu supports his ideas with many lengthy sutra quotations. The book concludes
with an examination of how Taixu's followers developed the idea of the Pure Land in
the human realm into a more coherent and modernized ideal."
