From the oldest to the newest, they are: Hosso, Kegon, Ritsu, Tendai, Shingon, Yuzu Nenbutsu, Jodo, Jodo Shinshu, Ji, Rinzai, Soto, Obaku, and Nichiren. These sects each have their own doctrines, and their robes and ritual implements also differ subtly. This book explains the differences between these 13 profound sects in manga format, including their history and doctrines. It also introduces funeral etiquette, making it a useful introductory book to Buddhism for everyday life. ■ Table of Contents Opening: Sect-Specific!
