NEW TITLES |
 Winner of the 1979 Templeton Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion and now or recently serving as an officer of the International Association for Religious Freedom, the World Conference on Religion and Peace, the Japan Religions League, and the Federation of the New Religious Organizations of Japan, Nikkyo Niwano is one of the most active religious leaders in the world today. This is Niwano's own refreshingly candid account of his life, from his childhood on a small farm in northern Japan, through his years of religious search, and finally to the founding and growth of Rissho Kosei-kai, a lay Buddhist organization with well over six million members throughout the world. In a modest, often thought-provoking text, both the public and private sides of the life of a modern religious leader are revealed with great warmth and honesty. As this book demonstrates, Niwano is truly a lifetime beginner, an uncommon man who greets each new day, each new experience, as a beginning. 344 pp. 16 cm. x 23.5 cm. 44 pp. Photos. (hardcover) | ||
