World Peace through Inner Happiness
Around 1,000 BC, the Buddha left a “gem” in his final and most important teaching, for people in a later age to uncover.
In the 13th century, Nichiren, a Buddhist monk, revealed the “gem”— the practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The benefits to the individual are immense.
In the 20th century, the Soka Gakkai began to promote Nichiren’s teachings which have quickly spread to the entire world.
This book provides a concise history of the development of this revolutionary movement, and the people instrumental in making it happen. 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.
A Samurai Meets a Buddha
A Samurai Meets a Buddha is about a samurai warrior, Shijo Kingo, and the Buddhist monk, Nichiren Daishonin. Nichiren is a rebel. Shijo Kingo is quick-tempered but, like most of us, has an inherent sense of what is right and what is wrong. He becomes Nichiren’s disciple and learns to chant a powerful invocation that can bring peace to the world.
Because Nichiren refutes the main religions of his day and teaches the chant, he is almost killed and is exiled. However, the key to his victory lies in that very same chant. This is a true story of an amazing event that saved Nichiren’s life.
