| A new book as a guide to practicing Buddhism in modern life (3blondmice/Flickr.com) |
Years ago, journalist and practicing Buddhist Woody Hochswender
co-authored a book on Buddhism.
That book focused on the teachings of Nichiren, a 13th-century Japanese monk who has become the spiritual teacher for more than 20 million [devotional] Buddhists worldwide.

That book, which
is in its tenth printing and has sold more than 80,000 copies, was such a
resounding success that Hochswender has written an insightful new
work -- at once a follow-up to the previous volume and a freestanding work
of its own.
A new breath of inspiration, The Buddha in Your Rearview
Mirror speaks to the spiritual yearnings so many of us have amid the
hustle and flux of
contemporary life. The book is a sophisticated but accessible
introduction to Buddhism as well as an in-depth study of Buddhism in the
Samurai period [in Japan].
Hochswender again focuses on the philosophy of Nichiren
and applies its principles to everyday issues ranging from health to
careers to family problems. The Buddha in Your Rearview Mirror is both
cogent and compelling -- informative history and inspiring self-help.
Ideal for the novice or veteran Buddhist, the book will resonate with anyone interested in concrete methods for tapping into their own highest potential or [Buddha nature]. Source
