Book Description
Through personal experiences, this anthology illuminates how the practice of Nichiren Buddhism has changed people’s lives for the better. These first-person narratives—representing people from all across the country of various ages and ethnic backgrounds—examine the challenges of daily life associated with health, relationships, career, and aging, and the ensuing experiences of hope, success, inspiration, and personal enlightenment that come about as a result of living as Nichiren Buddhists.

Reader Reviews
My friend, who's the SGI-USA bookstore manager in our community center, alerted me to this great book! She even lent me her copy and, like her, I was deeply impressed! (So I got my own from Amazon!) It reads like a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book, except with an SGI focus! It features George Aoyama's determination, who lost his father David among the American Airlines passengers who died on 9/11. (Many SGI members knew David who was an outstanding, dedicated SGI member; father; husband; and friend. ) George's courage, spirit, and similar dedication would make David proud, I believe! And these are all real, wonderful experiences of SGI members. So I give heartfelt recommendation to anyone seeking to eliminate doubt in one's own, or other's "Buddhahood!" Get it! Digest it! This book is simply great!!! If you "absorb" this, you can't go wrong!!! I thank everyone involved in bringing this gift to the public! Comment | | (Report this)
