"No prayer will go unanswered!" The Japanese Buddhist master Nichiren was absolutely convinced that the practice of chanting Daimoku to a Mandala Gohonzon enables us to fulfill all of our desires and to create a life we love. As a matter of fact, millions of Nichiren Buddhist practitioners worldwide have experienced miraculous and wonderful benefits such as overcoming serious illness, improving their finances and transforming their relationships. Have you ever wondered how such amazing experiences can be possible just through the apparently simple practice of chanting Daimoku?

The present book Nichiren Buddhism 4.0 will take a closer look at the "miracle mechanism" that is built into the Mandala Gohonzon.

You will discover the ways in which this light energy is relevant to the process of manifesting. This book demonstrates the power of intention and indicates how you can use it to shape your life. You will see why it is necessary to have a clear and precise vision for every area of your life. Thus, through intensive prayer you can "focus your mind," and start to "light up your life."

Pages : 162
Book Description
Both authors have been working on further developing the modern, humanistic and open-minded approach of Daisaku Ikeda to adapt Nichiren Buddhist teachings and practice for the modern lifestyle of the 21th. Century. Millions of people worldwide have already had profound and life-changing experiences with the practice of Nichiren Buddhism. You can feel and experience the effects of the practice of daimoku in your own life. But can these tangible changes be energetically measured and made visible with modern methods? How does the energy of daimoku affect our environment and our body? Can the old metaphorical language of Nichiren be explained with modern scientific concepts? These questions were considered by the two authors and in this book they show us their fascinating results. In doing so, they form a bridge between the spirituality of Nichiren Buddhism and new scientific approaches such as quantum physics, bio-feedback and electrophotonics, which integrate energy and consciousness in their approach. However, in searching for the spirituality of Nichiren Buddhism the authors first go back to its Japanese roots. Follow directly in the footsteps of Nichiren, experiencing the atmosphere of the places where Nichiren lived and acted in so many surprising ways, and closely feel the energy of this unique 13th century monk.

The World of Nichiren's Writings, vol. 1
Author: Daisaku Ikeda
Publisher: Middleway Press
ISBN: 1946635855
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
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.

World Peace through Inner Happiness
Author: Lela Ryterski
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
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.
