Publisher's Synopsis
Unlocking Tannisho, a long-selling book in Japan with over 670,000 copies sold, has become the only definitive commentary on the famous classic Tannisho. Since the English version was published, the book has also gained attention in the United States and Europe as an introductory text on Buddhism. In response to requests from Chinese-speaking readers, an edition of the book with Simplified Chinese characters has been released. Tannisho conveys the following message from Shinran: "However much you may suffer, never give up. In time you will be blessed with great happiness. Everyone, irrespective of race, gender, age, ability, or wealth, can equally gain a happiness so tremendous that they will explain: 'How glad I am I was born a human being!'" In a world with constant wars, conflicts, and natural disasters, with anxiety about life that continues to grow, more and more people turn their attention to Tannisho.
