"Early Buddhist writings contain blood-chilling descriptions of the many cruel torments awaiting the wicked after death--but the Japanese,in the innocent and optimistic manner so charateristic of them, soon found the means of salvation: it would be sufficient to call Buddha's name before dying in order to be saved from Hell."
