By	jt (Ca.) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful daily inspirational guide. Full of quotes that will help you go into your day with an open heart and joy. Suitable for Buddhist and Non Buddhist. This is the greatest inspirational quote book I have ever encountered. A must have. Great gift for those you wish to encourage. I would give to someone you are visting in the hospital, a co-worker, or as birthday gift. Truly life affirming.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wise words, August 17, 2008

By	BoddhiC (California, USA) - See all my reviews

Although I am a practitioner of Zen, I have enjoyed this book a great deal (I was given it as a present). President Ikeda of the SGI (the lay branch of Nichiren Buddhism) is a renouned author and world figure. His writings of daily guidance occassionally are more specific for Nichiren Buddhism, but mostly reflect universal Buddhist philosophy and thought. Any Buddhist, or non-Buddhist for that manner, can find wisdom to live by in this book.
