Abstract

"May we live in a world where no one feels the need to end their own life," "May we live in a world where everyone can live true to themselves." With such wishes in mind, the author established the 'Doshin-ji,' a sanctuary for troubled souls, in the town of Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

Every day, a multitude of worries are shared with him. In this book, he addresses various concerns such as "love & marriage," "marriage," "child-rearing," "work & money," and "life & death," providing methods from a Buddhist perspective to let go of suffering.

Just reading the author's answers, full of humor and love, can soothe your heart and turn your thoughts to a positive direction. This book is also recommended as an introductory guide to Buddhism.
