Do you ever wonder:
● Why doesn’t life go the way I want?
● What awaits us after death?
● Why do we suffer over love?
“Life is a workbook of problems to be solved,” teaches Ryuho Okawa, a renowned spiritual leader and best-selling author. Just as the lotus fower blooms beautifully in the mud, we too can let our inner fower bloom, no matter the hardships we face. God or Buddha never burdens us with a load heavier than we can bear.
The path to enlightenment starts by knowing that this world is not the only world there is, and that life continues after death. The problems we face in life are actually chances for us to attain wisdom and cultivate selfless, pure love for others.
This love refrects the teachings of love that were once taught by Hermes, the Greek god of prosperity and mysticism, who taught that true love should be as seldfless and transparent as the wind, asking nothing in return.
Bridging the Eastern Buddhist path of enlightenment with the selfless love of Western Hermetic thought, this book presents universal faith that people of today are seeking deep inside—one that improves each person, unites all people, and imbues hope into everyone’s hearts. It encourages you to live in a world of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

Invitation to Faith by Ryuho Okawa opens a new horizon on what it means to believe. The book begins with the metaphor "A Lotus Flower Blooms in the Mud," drawing on Buddhist teachings that encourage us to appreciate what we have and do our best each day, rather than trying to change our circumstances.
It then moves into vivid reflections on what may await us after death. The idea of reviewing one’s life from another person’s perspective is especially striking and thought-provoking. The Q&A section that follows offers many eye-opening insights into the nature of faith, addressing common doubts with clarity while also suggesting that there are stages in the development of faith.
The final chapter, "Love Blows Like the Wind,"is particularly memorable. Its portrayal of the background of the Greek god Hermes—presented in a way that differs from commonly known Greek mythology—and the explanation of why he taught selfless love as something like the invisible wind are deeply engaging.
This book is a compelling read for anyone seeking to understand what it really means to have faith and how to apply it in everyday life.
This book should be translated earlier into English with The Laws Of Faith, Spiritual World 101 and My Journey Through The Spirit World in 2018.
