'''The Essential Shinran: A Buddhist Path of True Entrusting''' is a compilation of passages from the writings and life story of [[Shinran Shonin]]. Shinran, who wrote during the [[Kamakura Period]], was a [[Japan]]ese [[monk]] who founded [[Jodo Shinshu]] [[Buddhism]], which eventually became the largest Buddhist sect in Japan.

The book (compiled by [[Alfred Bloom (Buddhist)|Alfred Bloom]], with a foreword by [[Ruben L.F. Habito]]) is divided into three major sections:
*Shinran's Life and Legacy
*What Do We Know of Shinran in the Ancient Sources?
*Shinran Interprets Pure Land Teaching.

The book is an attempt to bring Pure Land Buddhism to the attention of a Western audience. {{cquote|''Essential Shinran'' has the potential to dramatically increase Western appreciation of one of the largest, yet least understood forms of Buddhism. As such, the book ranks among the most important publications on Pure Land Buddhism of the past decade, valuable to scholars and Buddhist practitioners alike.”|20px|20px |[[Tricycle: The Buddhist Review]]<ref>[http://www.tricycle.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Abstract&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=1&id=BA3AB0054BD24AB8BCB890194F32A3E2&Author=&ReturnUrl=dirmod%2Easp%3Fsid%3D%26nm%3D%26type%3DPublishing%26mod%3DPublications%253A%253AArticle%26mid%3D8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791%26tier%3D4%26id%3DBA3AB0054BD24AB8BCB890194F32A3E2 Essential and Pure]</ref>}}
