The Essence of Buddha with Kiyoshi (Keith) Shimada

from BITEradio.me · host Robert Sharpe

The Essence of Buddha with Kiyoshi (Keith) Shimada The Essence of Buddha is about living a life with meaning and purpose. It offers a contemporary interpretation of the way to enlightenment, written by highly revered spiritual leader. The fundamental tenets of the Buddhist understanding of life, such as The Eightfold Path, The Six Paramitas and the Laws of Causality, are clearly explained in modern and accessible terms, along with the need for self-reflection, the nature of karma and reincarnation, and other teachings of the Buddha. Enlightenment is a potential achievement for every sentient being. The path towards it is an expansion of consciousness, moving from material concerns to an increased awareness of the unseen spiritual reality. This, and the practice of a love that gives, rather than just expecting to be loved, is the only path to happiness, and a better world. Minister Kiyoshi Shimada is Happy Science USA (North America) CEO.  He joined Happy Science as a priest in Japan and has been instrumental in helping Master Ryuho Okawa with his oversea's lectures. Happy Science was founded by Ryuho Okawa in 1986 as a spiritual movement dedicated to bringing greater happiness to humankind. Happy Science is involved in various activities with a goal to overcome barriers of race, religion, and culture and work toward a world united in peace and harmony.
