| Publisher Description: As human beings, we have one thing in common: we search all our lives for lasting happiness. You Were Born for a Reason tells us that happiness can indeed be found, but not in the places we ordinarily look, such as status, achievements, or family. This book, which has sold nearly half a million copies in Japan, shows us how to navigate life's obstacles from a deep source of inner peace. The authors"a Buddhist teacher, a psychotherapist, and a philosopher"direct us toward answers contained in the often-overlooked Buddhist teachings of Shinran, who is the founder of Jodo Shinshu, the largest of Japan's schools of Buddhism. In clear and compelling language, the authors show why human life is not only meaningful but also infinitely precious. It considers the many ills that plague modern society and guides us to the enduring truths that can renew our hearts and finally provide real happiness. |
