Description

Maria Immacolata Macioti's The Buddha Within Ourselves contains the results of a five-year study conducted by Professor Macioti, and a team of young scholars under her direction. This study focuses on Nichiren Buddhism as practiced by the members of the Italian Soka Gakkai, one of 177 sister organizations associated with Soka Gakkai International, a well known Japan-based Buddhist association that promotes peace, culture and education all over the world. Richard M. Capozzi's translation makes this book available to English-speaking audiences, for the first time.
