英語版『信仰のすすめ』大川隆法著

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.
