Entertaining Buddhist Book Grapples with Life's Toughest Problems

(PRWEB) May 31, 2003

Romancing the Buddha is about the practice of Nichiren Buddhism, which teaches that an individual has the power to influence his or her, oftentimes uncertain, circumstances—be it a stressful workday or the fear war brings. The book offers profound insights regarding a wide range of topics including adversity, family, relationships, and happiness in daily life.

Lisagor shares how his thirty-three years of applying Buddhist principles have helped him successfully deal with depression, his wife’s serious illness, raising two daughters, and finding hope in a turbulent society. Seeing his website gain enormous popularity and positive feedback encouraged him to put those entertaining insights permanently in print. One reader stated, “I’ve never laughed so hard. Wonderful reading! I will share your articles with Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.”
