DOWNLOAD PDF

Hōjōki is an extended meditation on the impermanence of the world and the dangers of attachment. Written by the reclusive monk Kamo no Chōmei at the dawn of the thirteenth century, this classic work of Japanese literature is celebrated for its linguistic simplicity and philosophical depth. Using the house as a metaphor for worldly attachment, Chōmei encourages readers not to cling to possessions, status, and social recognition. Simplicity and self-reliance, he argues, are the keys to extinguishing desire and finding inner peace.Although Hōjōki is unmistakably inspired by Buddhist ideas from another age, its message is universal and timeless.This third edition includes the Japanese source text and English translation, original images, maps, and scholarly annotations.
