While the notion that happiness can be found within oneself has recently become popular, Buddhism has taught for thousands of years that every person is a Buddha, or enlightened being, and has the potential for true and lasting happiness. Through real-life examples, the authors explain how adopting this outlook has positive effects on one's health, relationships, and career, and givesnew insights into world environmental concerns, peace issues, and other major social problems.An introduction to Nichiren Buddhism--based on the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin, a thirteenth-century Japanese reformer who advocated an accessible daily practice of Buddhism for the common man--addresses such issues as happiness, relationships, health, aging, and dying.
