Description
'Buddhism teaches that all individuals innately possess infinite power and wisdom, and reveals the process whereby these qualities can be developed.'
In UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF BIRTH AND DEATH: BUDDHISM IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD, Daisaku Ikeda, leader of the world's largest lay Buddhist organization, the Soka Gakkai International, explores this premise and its means of realization, while charting the universal relevance of Buddhist thought and practice in today's world.
Buddhist patterns of thought can offer release from the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death through a progressive understanding of their place in the cycle of universal existence.
UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF BIRTH AND DEATH: BUDDHISM IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD is a wide-ranging, vigorously written exposition which will challenge and absorb the interested lay reader as well as the initiate.
