| writings of nichiren daishonin: Transform Your Energy - Change Your Life! Susanne Matsudo-Kiliani, Yukio Matsudo, 2016-06-18 Both authors have been working on further developing the modern, humanistic and open-minded approach of Daisaku Ikeda to adapt Nichiren Buddhist teachings and practice for the modern lifestyle of the 21th. Century. Millions of people worldwide have already had profound and life-changing experiences with the practice of Nichiren Buddhism. You can feel and experience the effects of the practice of daimoku in your own life. But can these tangible changes be energetically measured and made visible with modern methods? How does the energy of daimoku affect our environment and our body? Can the old metaphorical language of Nichiren be explained with modern scientific concepts? These questions were considered by the two authors and in this book they show us their fascinating results. In doing so, they form a bridge between the spirituality of Nichiren Buddhism and new scientific approaches such as quantum physics, bio-feedback and electrophotonics, which integrate energy and consciousness in their approach. However, in searching for the spirituality of Nichiren Buddhism the authors first go back to its Japanese roots. Follow directly in the footsteps of Nichiren, experiencing the atmosphere of the places where Nichiren lived and acted in so many surprising ways, and closely feel the energy of this unique 13th century monk. |

| writings of nichiren daishonin: Nichiren Masahiko Murakami, 2015-08-01 In 13th-century Japan, disease, famine, violence, and natural disasters plague society. Samurai lords, blinded by power, shirk any responsibility to protect the citizenry. Religious leaders care more about currying favor with the powerful than helping common people find hope and a positive way to deal with their suffering. But one unknown Buddhist monk dares to speak the truth to power: Nichiren remonstrates with the authorities. He insists that all human life is precious and that the government needs to change its ways and become of service to the people. He criticizes the established religions as being merely pawns of the state, who teach ideas that only further the people's sense of powerlessness. The true purpose of Buddhism, he asserts, is to teach people a way to empower themselves, challenge their destiny, and experience happiness in this life. Based on actual events, this exciting comic touches on major milestones in Nichiren's life interwoven with basic Buddhist principles. This real-life adventure story will captivate readers as it illustrates the life of one courageous human being who stopped at nothing to bring happiness to the people and peace to the land. |

| writings of nichiren daishonin: On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime Daisaku Ikeda, 2018-03-06 What constitutes a meaningful life? What is true happiness? Nichiren Buddhism, based on the Lotus Sutra, is a teaching of hope that provides answers to these and other important questions for modern life. Ranked among the most important works in Mahayana Buddhism, Nichiren's 13th-century writings were revolutionary. In On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime, Nichiren turned prevailing Buddhist thought on its head. Attaining Buddhahood, or enlightenment, he argues, does not require embarking on some inconceivably long journey toward becoming some resplendent godlike Buddha, but rather it means accomplishing a transformation in the depths of one's being and revealing one's ultimate potential within. And Nichiren dedicated his life-braving all manner of persecution-to giving people a practical means for doing so. Daisaku Ikeda's simple and straightforward commentary brings alive this important writing for the modern world. Thoughtful people of all faiths will resonate with his compassionate insights on the universal teaching of happiness that is Nichiren Buddhism. |

| writings of nichiren daishonin: Change Your Brainwaves, Change Your Karma Susanne Matsudo-Kiliani, Yukio Matsudo, 2017-08-18 In 2010 Daisaku Ikeda discussed the relationship between religion and science in a dialogue with the Japanese neuroscientist Ken'ichiro Mogi. In this dialogue Ikeda took the firm position that religion and science should not be treated as separate from each other, nor should they remain in a conflict relationship. Instead, they should complement and mutually benefit each other. We would like to follow Ikeda�s constructive and value-creating approach by presenting in this book our attempt to build a bridge between the wisdom of Nichiren Buddhism and the knowledge of modern science.In our first book of the series Nichiren Buddhism 3.0 we considered Nichiren Buddhist concepts and principles mainly in terms of energy. In this respect we also measured the positive effects of daimoku on our own body and on our own energy centers (chakras) as well as the energetic effects on our own energy field. We also measured the energy in the room where we were chanting. In this book, Nichiren Buddhism 3.1, we take a closer look at the effects of daimoku in terms of consciousness. Once again we are dealing with energy, since consciousness can also be regarded as energy because it is related to our brain activity, which can be measured in the form of vibration and frequency. We will show the results of our brainwave measurements taken whilst chanting daimoku.---In this book, Nichiren Buddhism 3.1, the authors take a closer look at the effects of daimoku in terms of consciousness and how it is related to changing your karma. This mechanism is explained using the Buddhist deep psychology of the subconscious nature of karma. You will learn the results of the brainwave measurements taken whilst chanting daimoku. Find out about the neuroscientific principles of what makes the practice of daimoku so powerful, including new research into brain synchronization, and how it can affect your wellbeing and success. In Change Your Brainwaves, Change Your Karma you will learn, among other things:* how and why you are always under the strong influence of your individual and family karma, stored in your subconscious mind and even in your body. * how and why daimoku can break through the persistent patterns of your karma in neuroscientific terms.* how and why the positive neuro-physiological effects of daimoku can dramatically improve your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. * how daimoku is linked to your success in life and helps you to achieve your desired goals.Getting answers to these questions enables you to deeply understand the practical meaning of daimoku and to chant with more conviction than ever before. This new approach to your practice of Nichiren Buddhism allows you to open up a new dimension in all areas of your life. |
