On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime (Lectures on, #1)
Sept–Oct 2006 to Mar–Apr 2007.
One of Nichiren's early writings empowering people to bring out their inherent Buddha nature or absolute happiness. Ikeda's essay helps us apply this 700 + year old treatise to the present time and vastly deepen our understanding of the mystic law, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
I have read this about 20 times and with each read it reveals more to me. I love this book
Excellence!!!!! Excellence!!!!! This commentary deeply encouraged and further helped me understand the significance of ones life in relation to all lives.
It is a very intense book. There is a lot of waffle and repetition explaining what a line means and just repeating it in another order. Some of the more in-depth theory isn't explained too well, so i have mixed feelings about it. Being new to the practice it is a confusing book - go with the "Buddha Geoff and Me" - far better
Basically SGI nonsense. All you have to do is chant? Thats not Buddhism. I guess Im glad I read it so that I know to stay away from SGI, and maybe Nichiren Buddhism altogether.
