  • The Buddhism in Japan

    by George A. Cobbold, Lafcadio Hearn ...
    Buddhism was introduced into Japan in the sixth century, but it had at first little influence on the native religion.

    History of Religion

    by George A. Cobbold, Thomas J. Campbell, Lafcadio Hearn ...

    by John Lord ...
    About one hundred years after the great religious movement in India under Buddha, a man was born in China who inaugurated a somewhat similar movement there, and who impressed his character and principles on three hundred millions of people.
