  This introduction to Nichiren Buddhism explores the philosophical intricacies of life and reveals the wonder inherent in the phases of birth, aging, and death. Core concepts of Nichiren Buddhism, such as the 10 worlds and the nine consciousnesses, illustrate the profundity of human existence. This book provides Buddhists with the tools they need to fully appreciate the connectedness of all beings and to revolutionize their spiritual lives based on this insight. Also explored are how suffering can be transformed to contribute to personal fulfillment and the well-being of others and how modern scientific research accords with ancient Buddhist views. Ultimately, this is both a work of popular philosophy and a book of compelling, compassionate inspiration for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike that fosters a greater understanding of Nichiren Buddhism.

  Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship? 
  Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. The Gaslight Effect is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. 
  Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. 
  DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR? 
   - Doubting yourself and your sanity 
  - Feeling like you’re losing your mind 
  - Feeling like you’re always apologizing 
  - You’re second-guessing your memory 
  - Feeling like you aren’t good enough 
  - Feeling misunderstood 
  - Feeling lonely 
  - Ruined self confidence 
  - Extreme weight loss or weight gain 
  - Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity 
  - Feeling like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong

  - Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex 
  - Strange dreams 
  - Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression 
  The list goes on…. 
  “NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!” 
  I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. 
  Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy. 
  Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse. 
  Gaslighting is lying with a goal. 
  The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.

  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 43 by Princess Poon Pismai Diskul, The Relevance of Buddhism in the Modern World narrated by Gregory M. Dams. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. 2. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 43 can be downloaded from the BPS website.
   
  Excerpt:
   
  Throughout history, the practice, adherence and belief in religion has been a virtually universal aspect of human society. And as a rule, the increase in complexity and sophistication of a given culture has borne with it an accompanying increase in the level of ethical and philosophical development of that society’s religious thought.
   
  Today, however, the world witnesses a level of civilization and social complexity far surpassing that of any previous era. Yet out of the great thoughts and discoveries of our time, no new major religion has evolved. Whatever new religious concepts may have appeared, they have failed to reach the masses of humanity in the form of altering basic beliefs and practices. Most of the new reforms that modern institutions sometimes announce with pride are actually negative in character; that is, the termination of outmoded practices and the relinquishment or reinterpretation of embarrassing dogmas. ...

  «Una autobiografía perturbadora e inolvidable [...] Esta desgarradora historia narra la lucha a la que se enfrentan muchas familias que son separadas en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México». —Publisher's Weekly  
  «La inquietante y elocuente historia de una guatemalteca en búsqueda de una vida mejor». —Kirkus  
  «Un libro profundamente conmovedor e importante […] que debería ser leído por todo aquel que se considere estadounidense. Por todo ciudadano del mundo». —John Perkins, autor de Confessions of an Economic Hitman y Touching the Jaguar 
   
  Una historia conmovedora sobre dos madres marcadas por la crisis migratoria: una guatemalteca que ha sido separada de sus hijos y la estadounidense que la ayuda a reunirse con su familia. 
  Cuando Rosayra Pablo Cruz tomó la desgarradora decisión de buscar asilo en Estados Unidos con sus dos hijos, Fernando, de cinco años y Yordy, de quince, sabía que la travesía sería difícil, peligrosa y probablemente mortal. Pero la violencia rampante en Guatemala era insostenible; Rosy sabía que su familia sólo sobreviviría si migraba al norte. 
  Tras un peligroso viaje que los deja deshidratados, hambrientos y exhaustos, Rosy, Fernando y Yordy logran llegar a Arizona. Pero casi inmediatamente son separados a la fuerza por los oficiales gubernamentales del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional bajo la política «tolerancia cero». 
  Rosy y Julie Schwietert Collazo, la fundadora de Immigrant Families Together (Familias Inmigrantes Juntas), la organización comunitaria creada para reunir a madres con sus hijos, cuentan su historia y desvelan las crueles condiciones de los centros de detención, la insoportable ansiedad que padeció Rosy al ser separada de sus hijos y cómo la Fe y el amor la ayudaron a sobrellevar sus momentos más oscuros. 
  Un retrato insólito y cautivante de las consecuencias que las políticas inhumanas infligen sobre los inmigrantes que cruzan la frontera estadounidense y de los lazos inquebrantables de la familia, la Fe y la comunidad. 
  ROSAYRA PABLO CRUZ es la madre de cuatro hijos. Fue dueña de una pequeña tienda de ropa en Guatemala antes de llegar a Estados Unidos. En la actualidad, vive en Nueva York, es copresidenta de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros de su hijo mayor y miembro activo de su comunidad e iglesia.  
  JULIE SCHWIETERT COLLAZO es escritora, editora, traductora bilingüe (inglés-español) y exterapeuta de artes creativas. Ha escrito para varios medios y es coautora de un libro sobre el Papa Francisco que ha sido traducido a más de una docena de idiomas. Vive en Nueva York.
