Soyen Shaku 
Sermons of a Buddhist Abbot 
Addresses on Religious Subjects

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In March, 1906, the Right Reverend Soyen Shaku crossed the continent to the Atlantic coast, visiting. -washington, New York, Phila delphia, and Boston. Whenever he was asked by his countrymen or by his American friends to speak on his faith, he always acceded to their wish. These addresses were added to the ser mons already under my charge, and when His Reverence was leaving for his European tour towards the end of April, he left all the manu scripts with me with a view of publishing them in book form.
