Notes
1. Japanese Buddhism, both in Asia and outside, draws also on the work of thirteenth Century writer DŌgen, the founder of Soto Zen whose extensive writings are canonical in that tradition. See Parkes (Citation2013) for a take on DŌgen and environmental politics today.
2. For instance see a contrasting views of Buddhist ethics found in Aitken (Citation1984) and Loy (Citation2003). While sharing the hypothetical view, these authors repudiate the necessity of a role for reincarnation in Buddhist ethics.
