Nichiren (eBook, ePUB)

and The Opening of the Eyes

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nichiren is a vivid account of the history of Nichiren Daishonin, a thirteenth-century Japanese Buddhist priest and philosopher, whose work and dedication to the Lotus Sutra, one of the most venerated Buddhist scriptures, culminated in Nichiren Buddhism, a unique concept of Buddhism based on the oneness of body and mind and the interconnectedness of all existence. Steeped in the rich history of ancient Japanese culture, Nichiren Buddhism is contextualized against the background of spiritual awakening which swept across Southeast Asia in the 1200s. For those dedicated to the study of Buddhism, or even those beginning an exploration of the Buddhist precepts and wishing to feel a personal connection with the spiritualism of Nichiren, this book is essential reading.
