A fantastic book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is my favorite written introduction to Buddhism and one of my favorite references. I have been practicing Nicheren's Buddhism for fourteen years, and I think this book is both a clear explanation of Buddhism for someone who doesn't know much about it, and also wonderful for those who have been studying Buddhism for a while. The author did a fantastic job of clearly describing some deep concepts, and also the basics of Buddhist philosophy.
The Best Introduction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is simply the best, and most thorough, introduction to Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism I have read. Mr. Causton is an excellent writer. He takes the complexities of life and Buddhist ideas about how to approach life and presents them clearly and understandably.
Excellent!

This is one of my favorite Buddhist books. It makes complex Buddhist theories easily applicable to our daily lives - teaching that enlightenment is not an unreachable goal but a real state of life. It encourages us that true happiness is available to each of us, here and now, just as we are. I also highly recommended "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold which contains many wonderful and rare quotations by the Buddhist teachers discussed in "The Buddha in Daily Life." Excellent!
Nam myoho renge kyo!

By far, the absolute BEST introduction to NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO and the principles of Buddhism in the Lotus Sutra! This was the first book I read when I began chanting and joined the SGI-USA. There is NO religion like the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin!! AWESOME!!
Buddhism IS for Daily Life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I first read The Buddha in Daily Life when I first started to practice the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. It is a very thought out book and explains the concepts and meanings this particular sect of Buddhism in an easy-to-understand way.Written so that each section and chapter can be read on their own, it is great to just read the book from start to finish. You will find that all the answers you have ever been looking for in Buddhist are answered - from Life after Death, Cause and Effect, The 10 Worlds, Karma and the history of Buddhism.The best aspect of this book is the way it brings it back into normal daily living. It explains how we can all live as Buddhists, that we are all Buddhas, and shows that we can strive for the ultimate happiness in our own lives, through our own actions.I recommend this book to everyone as a first stop in the understanding of True Buddhism.
