Nichiren 12221282 was a Buddhist monk who lived during the Kamakura period 11851333 in Japan. Nichiren taught devotion to the Lotus Sutra entitled Myoho-Renge-Kyo in Japanese which contained Gautama Buddha's teachings towards the end of his life as the exclusive means to attain enlightenment. Nichiren believed that this sutra contained the essence of all of Gautama Buddha's teachings related to the laws of cause and effect karma and leading all people without distinction to enlightenment. This devotion to the sutra entails the chanting of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo referred to as daimoku as the essential practice of the teaching. Nichiren Buddhism includes various schools such as Nichiren Shoshu Nichiren Shu and Soka Gakkai each claiming to be the only true follower of their founder with their own interpretations of Nichiren's teachings. However despite the differences between schools all Nichiren sects share the fundamental practice of chanting daimoku. While all Nichiren Buddhist schools regard him as a reincarnation of the Lotus Sutra's Bodhisattva Superior Practices Jogyo Bosatsu some schools of Nichiren Buddhism's Nikko lineages regard him as the actual Buddha of this age or the Buddha of the Latter day of the Law and for all eternity.

The Marvelous Companion is a translation of a collection of thirty-four stories of the previous lives of the Buddha Jatakas spoken by the Enlightened One himself and assembled and retold by the first-century master Aryashura. Aryasura's The Marvelous Companion is a wonderful antidote for anyone who has grown weary with 'compassion fatigue'. Based on thirty-four beautifully written tales of the Buddha's former lives said to have been related by the Buddha himself this book seeks to convince us that love and compassion are appropriate in even the most extreme circumstances. Whether threatened by man-eating ogres blood-sucking demons robbers or just monkeys determined to irritate him the Buddha-to-be always responds with restraint and kindness. Truly magical is the response of his mischievous assailants in the face of this kindness. To a man and a monster! their hearts are converted their wicked natures vanish and they are awakened to the awesome possibility of love.What is so valuable about this book is that it deliberately focuses on our most entrenched and cynical ideas about compassion being 'impractical' and 'sentimental' and suggests that it is really our 'hard-headed' ideas that are naive: only unconditional love and compassion have the power to bring us happiness and to solve the problems of the world. What a world it would be if everyone read this book! It is perhaps the most inspiring book I have ever read. Dharma Publishing, hardcover

Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 304pp. Shasta Abbey is the Headquarters of the Refomred Soto Zen Church. Denominational Press Paperback. Jiyu-Kennett 1924 1996 born Peggy Teresa Nancy Kennett was a British roshi most famous for having been the first female to be sanctioned by the Soto School of Japan to teach in the West. As a young woman she found herself questioning gender roles in society and grew to become disillusioned with Christianity. She studied medieval music at Durham University and then received a scholarship to Trinity College of Music in London England. Though attracted to Buddhism she felt during this period that she was called to serve the Church of England as a priest. However church policies at the time did not allow women to be ordained and this enhanced her previous disillusionment with Christianity. She first became interested in Theravada Buddhism during this period of questioning and searching joining the London Buddhist Vihara. In 1954 she joined the London Buddhist Society where she continued her Buddhist studies and lectured. While there she met the scholar D.T. Suzuki and developed a strong interest in Zen Buddhism. In 1960 when Keido Chisan Koho of Sojiji in Japan came to the society she was asked to make the arrangements for his stay. Koho asked if she would consider becoming his student back in Japan. She accepted the offer and two years passed before she arrived at Sojiji to study under him. In January 1962 Kennett traveled to Malaysia to accept an award she had been honored with for setting a Buddhist hymn "Welcome Joyous Wesak Day" by Sumangalo to music. Before leaving for Japan Kennett was ordained a novice nun by Venerable Seck Kim Seng in the Linji Chan school and given the Buddhist name Jiyu meaning compassionate friend. Jiyu-Kennett arrived in Japan in 1962. She trained at Sojiji under Keido Chisan Koho Zenjifrom whom she received Dharma transmission in 1963. Because Koho was often preoccupied with administrative affairs Jiyu-Kennett spent much of her time studying under one of Koho Zenji's senior officers Suigan Yogo roshi. She remained until after the death of her master Koho in 1967. By 1969 she received authorization to begin teaching Soto Zen in London England. That year she visited the United States on a lecture tour and decided to remain.6 At this time Jiyu-Kennett was not in good health as during her time in Japan she had experienced many illnesses.7 In 1969 Jiyu-Kennett founded the Zen Mission Society in San Francisco and in 1970 Shasta Abbey in Mount Shasta California8 the first Soto Zen school in the United States to be established by a woman. In 1972 Jiyu-Kennett's British chapter of the Zen Mission Society established Throssel Hole Priory in Northumberland England.39 In 1978 Jiyu-Kennett changed the name of the Zen Mission Society to the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives. In 1975 Jiyu-Kennett was stricken with illness yet again and this time she became bedridden. In 1976 she resigned from her position as abbess of Shasta Abbey and went into retreat in Oakland California. Still rather ill of unknown causes she had her student Daizui MacPhillamy with her often to tend to her care. Following a kensho experience he had she conferred Dharma transmission to him at her bedside in 1976. Not long after she began having visions. Stephen Batchelor describes these episodes "The visions lasted for 12 months until 26 January 1977 the first twelve occurring in Oakland the rest at Shasta where she returned on 25 October. Each vision unfolded as a dream-like episode charged with Western and Buddhist religious symbolism superimposing itself on whatever she saw around her. She compared the series of visions to an elaborated contemporary version of the classical Zen images of the ten 'ox-herding' pictures. By the time the final vision faded she was cured. She interpreted the experience as that of a 'third kensho"." Jiyu-Kennett had a commanding presence about her both intellectually as well as physically. Of a rather husky build she had a tremendous laughter and was known to be gifted at storytelling. To some her demeanor appeared rather persistent at times as author James Ishmael Ford writes "She followed in the authoritarian style of her Japanese inheritance.She had genuine insight into the boundless realm and also pushed me toward my own deepest experience of the great matter." Her adaptation of Zen for Westerners has been likened to Japanese Soto Zen with a flavor of the Church of England for she believed that Zen in North America should adopt Western monastic dress and liturgical forms. For example she set the traditional Buddhist liturgy to music based on Gregorian chants. Jiyu-Kennett was an advocate for equality between the sexes and was herself swayed by the idea that women would never be deemed as equal to men if they were not understood to possess souls. She asserted that no woman will be certain she is equal "until she knows with the certainty that I know that her own Buddha-nature or her own soul exists." The Order of Buddhist Contemplatives founded by Jiyu-Kennett now has chapters in the United States the Netherlands Canada the West Indies the United Kingdom and Germany.
