The Purpose and Significance of Distribution of
“The Teaching of Buddha”
Buddhism for the Perfection of the Human Mind
What is needed in this present materialistic society which has no heartfelt foundation, is the realization of a peaceful society where everyone can entrust themselves. Attainment of a peaceful society will be completed only upon the perfection of the human mind, and for this purpose there are the teachings of Buddha.
Śakyamuni sought the path of transcending the sufferings in this disillusioned world. The practice of his teachings means to discover the true meaning of life. When we truly entrust ourselves to the teachings of Buddha, our uncontrollable reality will be transformed into gratitude for life as it is, and the path for the perfection of human mind will be opened.
“The Teaching of Buddha”
“The Teaching of Buddha” is a collection of Sakyamuni Buddha’s teachings. He preached his teachings, in order to allow all people to understand equally. In over 2000 years, the number of Buddhist scriptures grew to more than 5000. “The Teaching of Buddha” has included the intimate and actual life teachings from these scriptures. We have compiled this easy to understand book so that everyone can receive these teachings.
It is our sincere wish to make the book available for all people in the world for nearly 50 years. Bukkyō Dendō Kyōkai has been making every effort to translate and distribute this book throughout the world. To date, we have distributed about 7.8 million copies of the book to over 12,000 major hotels in more than 60 countries, and the book has been translated into 46 languages.
We hope all hotels will accept our book and place it in their hotel rooms. We bear the entire cost of the book distribution, including shipping. We also supply additional complimentary copies at anytime upon your request.
