Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What constitutes a meaningful life? What is true happiness? Nichiren Buddhism, based on the Lotus Sutra, is a teaching of hope that provides answers to these and other important questions for modern life. Ranked among the most important works in Mahayana Buddhism, Nichiren's 13th-century writings were revolutionary. In On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime, Nichiren turned prevailing Buddhist thought on its head. Attaining Buddhahood, or enlightenment, he argues, does not require embarking on some inconceivably long journey toward becoming some resplendent godlike Buddha, but rather it means accomplishing a transformation in the depths of one's being and revealing one's ultimate potential within. And Nichiren dedicated his life—braving all manner of persecution—to giving people a practical means for doing so. Daisaku Ikeda's simple and straightforward commentary brings alive this important writing for the modern world. Thoughtful people of all faiths will resonate with his compassionate insights on the universal teaching of happiness that is Nichiren Buddhism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen Buddhism is perhaps best known for its emphasis on meditation, and probably no figure in the history of Zen is more closely associated with meditation practice than the thirteenth-century Japanese master Dogen, founder of the Soto school. This study examines the historical and religious character of the practice as it is described in Dogen's own meditation texts, introducing new materials and original perspectives on one of the most influential spiritual traditions of East Asian civilization. The Soto version of Zen meditation is known as "just sitting," a practice in which, through the cultivation of the subtle state of "nonthinking," the meditator is said to be brought into perfect accord with the higher consciousness of the "Buddha mind" inherent in all beings. This study examines the historical and religious character of the practice as it is described in Dogen's own meditation texts, introducing new materials and original perspectives on one of the most influential spiritual traditions of East Asian civilization.

Download or read book A New Humanism written by Daisaku Ikeda and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The natural sympathy and understanding of people everywhere must be the soil in which the new humanism can thrive.' For Daisaku Ikeda, whose words these are, education has long been one of the fundamental priorities of his work and teaching. His emphasis on the intellectual legacy bequeathed to humanity by the great teachers of civilization is in this volume encapsulated by the notion of a 'new humanism': a significant residue ofwisdom that in the right circumstances may be passed on to future generations, expanding horizons, making connections between different cultures and encouraging fresh insights and new discoveries across the globe. These circumstances are perhaps most fully realised in the context of universities. In promoting his core values of education and peace, the author has delivered lectures and speeches at more than twenty-five academies, colleges and research institutes worldwide. This stimulating collection, which includes the author's most recent lectures, ranges widely across topics as diverse as art, religion, culture and time, and draws creatively on the sages of ancient India, China and Japan as well as on visionary thinkers from every nation, including Tolstoy, Victor Hugo and Gandhi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these insightful discussions, Daisaku Ikeda explores from a variety of angles the life, times, and teachings of Nichiren Daishonin as described in his writings. We learn how Nichiren' s actions— from his vows at an early age to bring happiness to the people through his fearlessness in face of life-threatening persecutions— can become a model for us today. And the humanistic interpretations of key Buddhist concepts bring new clarity to ideas such as “ attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime” and “ establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.” More than just history and theory, the inspiration offered here aims to provide a deeper understanding of how to put into daily practice Nichiren's philosophy of hope and victory.

Download or read book The Buddha In Daily Life written by Richard Causton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-07-31 with total page 304 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Showa Teihon Nichiren Shonin Ibun (Writings of Nichiren Shonin standardised in the Showa period) compiled by the Rissho Daigaku Nichiren Kyogaku Kenkyu Jo (Center for the Study of Nichiren Buddhism) in four volumes and published by Kuonji Temple in 1952-1959 are considered the most authoritative collection of Nichiren Shonin's writings. Because of the difficulty of reading Nichiren Shonin's original writings, the Nichiren Shonin Zenshu (Complete Writings of Nichiren Shonin) were published in 1992 and 1996 to provide access for everyone in an easy-to-read modern Japanese form. In 2000, the Nichiren Overseas Propagation Promotion Association began the English translation of the 7-volume Nichiren Shonin Zenshu. Although this work is titled as the complete writings, it only contains the writings that are considered bibliographically authentic in light of modern scholarship. There are a few writings included in the 7 volumes that are of questionable authenticity; these are specifically indicated in their introductions. Volumes 1-5 are already available available.

Download or read book Change Your Brainwaves, Change Your Karma written by Susanne Matsudo-Kiliani and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2010 Daisaku Ikeda discussed the relationship between religion and science in a dialogue with the Japanese neuroscientist Ken'ichiro Mogi. In this dialogue Ikeda took the firm position that religion and science should not be treated as separate from each other, nor should they remain in a conflict relationship. Instead, they should complement and mutually benefit each other. We would like to follow Ikeda�s constructive and value-creating approach by presenting in this book our attempt to build a bridge between the wisdom of Nichiren Buddhism and the knowledge of modern science.In our first book of the series Nichiren Buddhism 3.0 we considered Nichiren Buddhist concepts and principles mainly in terms of "energy". In this respect we also measured the positive effects of daimoku on our own body and on our own energy centers (chakras) as well as the energetic effects on our own energy field. We also measured the energy in the room where we were chanting. In this book, Nichiren Buddhism 3.1, we take a closer look at the effects of daimoku in terms of "consciousness". Once again we are dealing with energy, since consciousness can also be regarded as energy because it is related to our brain activity, which can be measured in the form of vibration and frequency. We will show the results of our brainwave measurements taken whilst chanting daimoku.---In this book, Nichiren Buddhism 3.1, the authors take a closer look at the effects of daimoku in terms of consciousness and how it is related to changing your karma. This mechanism is explained using the Buddhist deep psychology of the subconscious nature of karma. You will learn the results of the brainwave measurements taken whilst chanting daimoku. Find out about the neuroscientific principles of what makes the practice of daimoku so powerful, including new research into brain synchronization, and how it can affect your wellbeing and success. In Change Your Brainwaves, Change Your Karma you will learn, among other things:* how and why you are always under the strong influence of your individual and family karma, stored in your subconscious mind and even in your body. * how and why daimoku can break through the persistent patterns of your karma in neuroscientific terms.* how and why the positive neuro-physiological effects of daimoku can dramatically improve your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. * how daimoku is linked to your success in life and helps you to achieve your desired goals.Getting answers to these questions enables you to deeply understand the practical meaning of daimoku and to chant with more conviction than ever before. This new approach to your practice of Nichiren Buddhism allows you to open up a new dimension in all areas of your life.
