I was wondering what are the main books for Shin Buddhism that should be in my home library. I have The Three Pure Land Sutras, Tannisho, and Kyogyoshinsho. I didn’t know if there was any other books I needed to get.
You have a nice collection of books. The only other academic and doctrinal type book would be the “Collected Works of Shinran” in two volumes. This is available online and at the temple bookstore (when it is open again).
Among the non-doctrinal books, I would suggest:
- “River of Fire, River of Water” by Taitetsu Unno
- “Shin Buddhism: Bits of Rubble Turn to Gold by Taitetsu Unno
- “Buddhism of the Heart” by Jeff Wilson
- “Ocean” by Kenneth Tanaka
