Lotus Sync (Lotus Ink, #2)
Description
Lotus Sync is a window into one practitioner's experience of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism via its collection of poems and is a companion book to Lotus Ink, a sonnet-rich introduction to SGI Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
The SGI is a worldwide value-creation society dedicated to using Buddhism to create world peace through individual happiness.
Nichiren Daishonin is a priest in 13th century Japan who discovered the essence of the Buddha's teachings.
Since haiku did not exist as a stand-alone poetic form at that time while the sonnet did and was itself born in the 13th century, the author chose to introduce SGI Nichiren Buddhism in sonnet form in Lotus Ink and continued this format in Lotus Sync.
