LIFETIME BEGINNER
An Autobiography
by Nikkyo Niwano
Winner of the 1979 Templeton
Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion and now or recently serving as
an officer of the International Association for Religious Freedom, the World
Conference on Religion and Peace, the Japan Religions League, and the Federation
of the New Religious Organizations of Japan, Nikkyo Niwano is one of the
most active religious leaders in the world today. This is Niwano's own refreshingly
candid account of his life, from his childhood on a small farm in northern
Japan, through his years of religious search, and finally to the founding
and growth of Rissho Kosei-kai, a lay Buddhist organization with well over
six million members throughout the world. In a modest, often thought-provoking
text, both the public and private sides of the life of a modern religious
leader are revealed with great warmth and honesty. As this book demonstrates,
Niwano is truly a lifetime beginner, an uncommon man who greets each new
day, each new experience, as a beginning.
