Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth and Death and Everything in Between

De: Daisaku Ikeda

Narrado por: Michael Bove

This introduction to Nichiren Buddhism explores the philosophical intricacies of life and reveals the wonder inherent in the phases of birth, aging, and death. Core concepts of Nichiren Buddhism, such as the 10 worlds and the nine consciousnesses, illustrate the profundity of human existence. This book provides Buddhists with the tools they need to fully appreciate the connectedness of all beings and to revolutionize their spiritual lives based on this insight. Also explored are how suffering can be transformed to contribute to personal fulfillment and the well-being of others and how modern scientific research accords with ancient Buddhist views. Ultimately, this is both a work of popular philosophy and a book of compelling, compassionate inspiration for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike that fosters a greater understanding of Nichiren Buddhism.

Practical Buddhist methods

I liked the break downs regarding Nicherin practice. The opportunity to hear about Karma, 10 worlds, and more.

THE BEST BOOK TO LEARN ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH

its a great book to learn all about my purpose of life and death .

A wonderful book

A great book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be worthwhile and generally intelligent and I found great relation with the author. I further highly recommend this book.

Must read very interesting

Fascinating reading a must, for all seeking the reality of life very in-depth study of the meaning of life

We are all Buddhas

This book is a masterpiece. Daisaku Ikeda meticulously explains many aspects of the neutron Buddhist philosophy, and truly does unlock many of the mysteries around birth, illness, death, and what seems to be the endless cycle of life. The best thing about the way he writes is he takes his time and uses language that is highly accessible while retaining the profound nature of the teaching. This book is a true gem, and can be read over and over again, each time yielding knowledge that leads to wisdom.

Amazing clear explanation on life

I love this book , I have it in print and audible, I don't have much time to pick up the book, but whenever I'm on the car, train , this is the best thing to do with my time, I don't mind listening to it over and over again until it becomes second nature to me.

Highly Recommend

Enjoyed this read very much- learned so much and will for sure make this a go to for a repeat listen. Highly recommend for all that want to learn to live life to its fullest.

valuable information

I've been studying SGI Nichiren Buddhism for many years, yet I learned so much.

Unlock Your Buddha Nature

Loved it...and my favorite work of Sensei Ikeda; especially Chapter 7. I encourage everyone to at least try chanting, "Nam Myho Renge Kyo". Your inherent Buddhahood can awaken in this lifetime.

Life Is the Pursuit of Discovering One’s Connection to Everything

The journey from Birth to Death is realizing everything you experience in life is about uncovering the awareness that you are have an infinite potential that can never be diminished when fueled by belief in the mystic law of cause an effect.
