Children and adults alike will enjoy reading about the Stone Tiger, the Pardoned Prisoner, King Rinda’s White Horses, the Turtle Under the Ocean, the Calligrapher’s Son and the Merchant Who Became a Horse: these captivating stories were originally told in ancient Japan to illustrate the challenging concepts of the Lotus Sutra, yet present enduring relevance even centuries later to a now globalized practice of Buddhism.

Today, Nichiren’s stories remain as entertaining and controversial as ever. And in a search for symbolic, mythological and cultural context, six of these stories have been modernized, and placed side by side with background for context, presenting meaningful and useful insights today, tomorrow and for a lifetime.

The AI voice is a bit distracting.

The book is cool, it explains some of the controversial myths. The AI voice is mildly distracting due to mispronounced words. If you’re in to NICHIREN Buddhism give it a listen.
