This book has dramatically changed my attitude towards death, and therefore my approach to life. Initially I was somewhat overwhelmed by the title, but I would urge everyone to read this book - it's not as difficult as you might think. Daisaku Ikeda's deep understanding of Nichiren's teachings and his great knowledge of the Lotus Sutra is at points spellbinding, but his eloquence and skill with language truly makes some of the most initially challenging concepts very comprehendible. Daisaku Ikeda draws upon his wealth of knowledge of this world as a whole, from science to history to illustrate and explain many of the core Buddhist teachings. This book has been a truly fascinating read, it has deepened my understanding of many complex teachings and has therefore deepened my faith and resolve in my practice. I have never read a book twice, but I feel I may read this again, not because it failed in being accessible, but because one could tell Daisaku Ikeda's every word was chosen with complete care, I feel if read again I would find more to learn, and deepen my understanding even further.
