Sachbuch / Philosophie: Allgemeines, Nachschlagewerke
Beschreibung
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 "e; attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime"e; and "e; establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land."e; 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.
