Other Information[edit]
Masao Abe was a Japanese academic in comparative religion (concluding as emeritus professor at Nara University), and a Buddhist philosopher.[2] His mature views were developed within the Kyoto School of philosophy founded by Kitaro Nishida. Hence his interest in, and ability to compare and contrast, Buddhism and Christianity. "Since the death of D. T. Suzuki in 1966, Masao Abe has served as the main representative of Zen Buddhism in Europe and North America."[3][4]
- ↑ While Masao may in fact be his last name, the library of congress and almost all other print media treats Abe as the last name, so we follow this convention here on the DRL.
