Transform your energy - Change your life!: Nichiren Buddhism 3.0 - Paperback

by Yukio Matsudo (Author), Susanne Matsudo-Kiliani (Author)

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.Visit our Facebook page to get more information about the book: https: //www.facebook.com/effectsofdaimoku/
