Le vénérable Tagawa Shun'ei est l'abbé du Temple Zen Hossō de Kōfukuji, un site culturel classé au patrimoine mondial dans la préfecture de Nara, au Japon.
Confronted by a dark memory from his past, Senzou loses control of his powers, going into a wild rage. While the wolves and foxes struggle to deal with the dark miasma before it can corrupt the countryside around them, Manpachi and Koyuki team up with an unexpected new friend in an attempt to calm Senzou's anxious heart. Manpachi is sure their love will reach Senzou... if only they have enough time!
Legends say that Senzou the Black Fox is one of the most vicious and powerful supernatural beasts to ever roam the land. At least, he used to be. Now, 300 years after he was imprisoned by the Sun Goddess for his bad behavior, Senzou is back — in the form of a small black fox with no powers! Tasked with protecting a young tanuki called Manpachi as he fulfills various tasks for the gods, Senzou must earn his powers back by learning how to be a good guardian to the energetic little pup. Though Senzou is a grumpy and reluctant companion at first, even a hard-hearted fox can be tamed by cuteness... and the little tanuki quickly learns there are some family ties that aren't decided by blood.

Yogācāra is an influential school of Buddhist philosophy and psychology that stems from the early Indian Mahāyāna Buddhist tradition. The Yogācāra view is based on the fundamental truth that there is nothing in the realm of human experience that is not interpreted by and dependent upon the mind.Yogācāra Buddhism was unable to sustain the same level of popularity as other Buddhist schools of India, Tibet, and East Asia, but its teachings on the nature of consciousness profoundly impacted the successive developments of Buddhism. Yogācāra served as the basis for the development of the doctrines of karma and liberation in many other schools.In this refreshingly accessible study, Tagawa Shun'ei makes sense of Yogācāra's subtleties and complexities with insight and clarity. He shows us that Yogācāra masters comprehend and express everyday experiences that we all take for granted, yet struggle to explain. Eloquent and approachable, Living Yogācāra deepens the reader's understanding of the development of Buddhism's interpretation of the human psyche.
After 300 years, the gods that imprisoned Senzou the black fox for his arrogance finally set him free. There is only one condition -- he can't have any of his supernatural abilities back until he successfully helps a tanuki pup named Manpachi become one of their magical assistants. Unfortunately for Senzou, there's no cheating when it comes to completing his task! The magic beads around his neck make sure he can't wander too far from his charge or shirk his duties, and so... Senzou the once-great Fox Spirit must now figure out how to be an actually-great babysitter to a mischievous little tanuki or risk being stuck without his powers forever!
