This introduction to Nichiren Buddhism explores the philosophical intricacies of life and reveals the wonder inherent in the phases of birth, aging, and death. Core concepts of Nichiren Buddhism, such as the ten worlds and the nine consciousnesses, illustrate the profundity of human existence. This book provides Buddhists with the tools they need to fully appreciate the connectedness of all beings and to revolutionise their spiritual lives based on this insight. Also explored are how suffering can be transformed to contribute to personal fulfilment and the well-being of others and how modern scientific research accords with ancient Buddhist views. Ultimately, this is both a work of popular philosophy and a book of compelling, compassionate inspiration for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike that fosters a greater understanding of Nichiren Buddhism.… (mais)
About the author: quoting from the dust jacket, Daisaku Ikeda was born in Tokyo in 1928. . . Since 1975 he has been president of the Soka Gakkai International, a lay Buddhist organization for the promotion of education, culture and peace, with a membership of ten million in Japan and 1.3 million in other countries. [His writings cover a wide range of subjects. with special emphasis on Buddhism and have been translated into six languages]." About the book: quoting from the dust jacket, "[This book] is both a clear, concise introduction to a 2500-year-old tradition and an examination of its application to contemporary existence. In a world riven by conflict and the competition for material comforts, argues Ikeda, Buddhist patterns of thought provide a vehicle by which human beings can understand what is universally human and thus escape from the anger, despair, greed and envy indivisible from selfish cravings and appetites." This work is well indexed and contains a glossary.
