Publisher's summary

We are now moving forward on completing this series of books that share the lectures of my teacher and the founder of the Enkyoji Buddhist Network, Rev. Kanto Tsukamoto. As with many projects it takes lots of energy and time to bring them to completion. So as you can imagine, it is a great accomplishment to fulfil such a wish that started many years ago.

The most powerful reason that I wish to share these lectures with everyone is because of their simplicity and the easy-to-grasp explanations that Tsukamoto Sensei uses to share many very profound teachings. In being his student, he has always taught me to share according to the capacity of the listener. Well, that takes lots of skill and wisdom that is gained over many attempts and with deep study! Also, as a student myself, I am always blown away by the impact that these teachings have directly had in my own life. Now, with the internet, there are tons of Buddhist teachers and lectures available online, but I cannot recall any of them now. However, I can easily recall the extremely powerful lessons that Tsukamoto Sensei wrote in all of his newsletters and lectures. That is why I have saved them and wish to share them with the rest of the world.

In Buddhism, this concept of sharing the Buddha dharma is an essential part of our practice as Bodhisattvas. What you see before you is the amazing work of many Bodhisattvas over the years from inside the Enkyoji Buddhist Network that have allowed this great merit to be shared with countless beings. I thank all of them with a deep bow with gassho!

Also, a big thank you for your support through purchasing this book. We look forward to completing many additional projects that we are wishing to bring to you to assist in your study and practice. If you are interested in helping us, we welcome you to the Enkyoji Buddhist Network. Our idea is simply, “Learning is doing!” That is what I was taught by Tsukamoto Sensei during my training as a lay person, Shami, and as a Priest. I hope that you will join us for this incredible journey!

With Gassho,
Rev. Kanjin Cederman Shonin
