The Instant Enlightenment of Ordinary People: Nichiren Buddhism 2.0 for the 21st Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983157455)

The author has consistently developed an attempt to dismantle Soka Gakkai study from traditional Nichiren Shoshu doctrine. This book deals with the doctrine controversy with three different backgrounds, so it consists of three parts. - The first part refers to the criticism of Nichiren Shoshu doctrine that the author published in the period short after the excommunication of SG in November 1991. - In the second part, since the Soka Gakkai officially abandoned the faith on the Dai-gohonzon in November 2014, there are some discussion on the direction of SG study in the present time. - In the third part, the author develops systematically his thesis on the "Instant Enlightenment of Ordinary People" in succeeding to the humanist approach of SGI president Daisaku Ikeda.Thus, this book presents an innovative Nichiren Buddhism 2.0 for laypeople practicing in the global contemporary society of the 21st Century.
