What constitutes a meaningful life? What is true happiness? What philosophy can bring peace to this strife-filled world? 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. They tried to open people’s eyes to a philosophy of self-reliance, to a religion dedicated to the people’s happiness. In his “The Opening of the Eyes,” Nichiren called for people to base themselves on a spirit of compassion and trust in the people and to follow his example to fight for the people’s happiness, come what may.
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.
