A comprehensive teaching of Buddhism, covering from early Buddhism, the original teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha 2,600 years ago, to Theravada Buddhism which disseminated in Southeast Asia, and to Mahayana Buddhism which was widely spread to China and Japan.

------

These comprehensive and essential Buddhist teachings that are written in an easy-to-understand way will resolve the commonly misunderstood concepts taught in modern Buddhism such as 'egolessness' and 'void', as well as the true meaning of 'the middle way', 'nirvana' and 'Buddha-nature'. These concepts of spiritual awareness are now resurrected. Ryuho Okawa's clear-cut explanations of the core Buddhist teachings are what has been anticipated among authentic seekers of Truth, so look no farther.
