Book Description

July 1, 2007
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and encouraging, "if they can, I can.." gem!, October 11, 2007

This review is from: The Buddha Next Door (Paperback)
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!

This review is from: The Buddha Next Door (Paperback)
There are a lot of inspiring stories of overcoming obstacles through faith and the practice of Nichiren Daishonen's Buddhism. They are encouraging and motivating without being didactic or too "religious." I've been practicing this Nichiren Buddhism for 4 years but I recommend this book to non-practitioners as well.

This review is from: The Buddha Next Door (Paperback)
Excellent book, i found it to be very inspiring, how members of the SGI overcome their problems through the power of faith in Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. This book is a must have for SGI members, and for anyone with a seeking mind.
