Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism encourages the belief that, through its faith and practices, spiritual and material blessings and benefits can be available to everyone in this life. Needs can be met, and success achieved, not merely for oneself but for others (and the world) through dedication to the Lotus Sutra, a central teaching of Buddhism. It combines these personal objectives with the commitment to world peace, ecology and the easing of suffering, especially, AIDS. Attracting such well known followers as Jeff Banks, Sandie Shaw, Tina Turner and Roberto Baggio, Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism is rooted in a Buddhist tradition going back to the teachings of Nichiren in the 13th century, and is part of an international movement based in Japan.

Book excerpt: The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin is a written record of the philosophy and correct practice of Nichiren Buddhism. As important as that text is, however, understanding the words of a medieval Japanese priest and incorporating them into 21st century life can be a daunting task. Let's face it you can't apply what you can't understand. Enter Waking the Lion: a Study Guide to The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin written with the lay believer in mind. Each chapter of this book covers one gosho, or letter, of Nichiren's. Each includes a brief introduction, an overview of what Nichiren says in that gosho (including explanations of difficult terms) and most importantly how to apply Nichiren's words to your practice and your life. Like Nichiren's teachings, Waking the Lion is not meant to be simply read, but lived. Be forewarned: reading it may awaken the lion within. So take a healthy stretch, dear reader, and get ready to roar--.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing a longstanding misconception concerning the origin of Namu-Myōhō-Renge-Kyō, which all prior editions of "The Language of the Heart" had regrettably continued to spread, necessitated the publishing of this 6th edition. As the adage goes, "The truth will set you free!" It is only through Truth that one can come to understand one's life and life itself. Do you ever wonder why you were born? Why do we die? What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of life? Buddhism is the study of life. The study of your life. The study of all life. Because life goes through the phases of birth, aging, illness and death, it appears as though life is finite-that there is a beginning and an end. But the truth about time is that the past is eternal, and the future is eternal. There is neither beginning nor end. There is only permanent eternity. Not only is time eternal, but the universe is also everlasting, infinite, ever-expanding and increasing in volume. No one created eternal life. There is a Law. A universal Law that has always existed. This Law is the source of all life. A human being came a long, realized the existence of this Law and thus became a Buddha - an enlightened one. The title and state of being Buddha is not exclusive to one being. All life - all existence - has the potential to be Buddha-to be enlightened. Desires and enlightenment are the same. They are inseparable. No one can separate good and evil in one's life. Therefore, a law has to be powerful enough to enlighten a life where good and evil co-exist indivisibly. To become a Buddha - to reach the deepest part or yourself - your core - you need not give up your human condition, retire to a mountain or become an ascetic. You need only to hear and know the Buddha's language, and practice it in your daily life to feel joy in your heart. The language of the Buddha is the universal Law. The universal Law of the Buddha is the language of the heart. It is your core. It is your home. It has always been within you. In this little book, a long-time American believer and a Nichiren Shoshu Shoshinkai priest introduce you, in an easy conversational style, to the universal Law, how to practice the Law, the impact of the Law on everyday life, and a deeper understanding of life itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nichiren, a thirteenth-century Japanese Buddhist monk, discovered a secret teaching that presents a powerful, practical method to create inner happiness. It is known as a “wish-granting jewel” or a “cluster of blessings.” Practitioners of this method gain wisdom, courage, confidence, and fortune in their lives. In World Peace through Inner Happiness, Lela Ryterski provides a concise history of the development of this practice used today by the Soka Gakkai, the organization that emerged from Nichiren’s teachings. The Soka Gakkai has fostered a revolutionary worldwide Buddhist movement. Ms. Ryterski has been a member for over thirty-five years. She admits to having been a shy and timid person. Making wrong decisions and living according to others, she felt like a leaf in the wind. Through the practice of Nichiren Buddhism, she has become strong. She’s learned that she’s an important person, and so is everyone. We’re all born because we have a mission, and we’re on this path together. By infusing society with this teaching, we can transform the world from one mired in suffering to one of peace. World Peace through Inner Happiness gives a rational account of how to make the impossible possible. You cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that you can do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, a tiny group of people in Cardiff and a married couple in Aberporth West Wales were the only Welsh members of Soka Gakkai International, a Japanese movement based on the beliefs and teachings of the 13th century Buddhist, Nichiren Daishonin. Today, there are hundreds of members in Wales and the Borders. This book examines the history of the movement in these two areas, and draws on original research gleaned from the members themselves. The research elicits facets of their faith, practices, and study, as well as their testimonies to the success of such beliefs and practices in their daily lives. The book combines the twin goals of academic analysis of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin in general with the warmth of its expression in the lives of its adherents in Wales and the Borders.
