About books

I have a question about the book.

About 2 weeks ago, they said on FM radio that it would be great to read books other than magazines. The DJ said that when you hit a wall or get stuck in your life, you know how you can escape the darkness while devising your own ideas, even under all circumstances.

If there are any books in genres other than life books that you would like to read, could you please let me know?

Thank you, Chief Priest.

Words of truth

After all, I'm a monk, so I like books related to Buddhism, so I recommend them.
Above all, speaking of Buddha's words, which are the origin of Buddhism, these are after all.

“Buddha's words of truth, words of inspiration”

Also, books explaining this content in an easy-to-understand manner have been published by many monks and researchers. If you read it too, your understanding will deepen.
If you search for “Dharmapada” or “Dharmapada” on the internet, you'll find a lot of them. Please look for it.
For reference, I have the following books at hand.

“Dharma Sutra Lectures”
Written by Tomomatsu Enjin
SEKKASHA

“Beyond Confusion [Dharma Sutra]”
Written by Matsubara Yasumichi
SHUEISHA

“Buddha's Words of Life”
Written by Miyashita Makoto

Utilize the “Japanese Handbook”

Good morning

I like reading novels, so I'll show you how to choose a novel book.

I think I used a supplementary teaching material called a “Japanese handbook” when I was in middle school and high school. (If you've thrown it away, you can ask for it at bookstores or online stores)
If you look at this, various writers have appeared. There is also a synopsis etc. of the work I wrote. While looking at this, I think it would be a good idea to search for books you are interested in and read them.

I would recommend places like Natsume Soseki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Mishima Yukio, Miyazawa Kenji, and Dazai Osamu.
Murakami Haruki and Miyamoto Teru are good artists these days.

There are also good comics. In particular, girls' manga are of high quality.

This is my hobby, so I think it's a good idea to go to the bookstore yourself and browse the books.

It would be nice if I came across a good book.
