"A great number of Confucians combined their rejection of Buddhism with an attempt to unify Confucianism and Shinto. The road to physical, spiritual, and psychological health may be paved with such practices as meditation, prayer, and attendance at Sunday services. Emphasizing that spirituality is one way people define themselves, Jones uniquely blends his experience as clinical psychologist, Christian clergyman, and student of Buddhism to compellingly affirm the interdependence of mind, body, and spirit. This book is covering the relationship between the two religions and its valuable impact for the growth of society." (jacket)
