'Jeweled-Crown Maitreya Bodhisattva' (Miroku Bosatsu). 7th century. Koryuji, Kyoto

Zuiken Inagaki

Zuiken Inagaki (1885 - 1981) earned his living as a school teacher, while gaining a deep understanding of the Dharma through his extensive studies. He was ordained as a priest in 1945 and published several books, including a seven volume commentary on the Kyo Gyo Shin Sho. In combining a secular career with the task of giving profound attention to the call of Amida's Vow, he was a model of Shinshu discipleship.
