I'm indebted to you.
Thank you very much for your thorough and thorough answers to the questions I always left to my anger when I was mentally young.
Thanks to all of you, I've become interested in Buddhism, so I'd like to start studying from scratch, but I don't know what kind of books I should buy.
This book is fun and easy to understand! If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
I read it. I'm really happy that you are interested in Buddhism. This might be a huge step for you.
Welcome to Buddha's teachings! That's my thought.
Books recently published by monks have been uploaded to this Hasunoha site, aren't they? There are also books I've read, but I think they are very easy to read.
Buddhism is also a philosophy, so I think it's a good idea to start with something that is easier to pick up and read than something that is suddenly difficult from the beginning and has high hurdles. That's because it's also a relationship.
If you read them one by one, you may be convinced, so why not take your time reading them.
Also, I think it would be a good idea to visit the head temple of each denomination and listen to the monk's puja.
Please feel free to read it and pray.
Buddhism and we, the monks, are looking forward to welcoming you. Gassho
“I want to learn Buddhism”
I think that's pretty good.
” This book is fun and easy to understand! If you have a recommendation”
This is a difficult question (laughs)
There are so many things from pins to kili...
But it's probably not like I'm going to write a paper based on that, so I think you can learn in a funny way by first reading “Laughing Ii Tetsuo's Buddha Laughs Too.”
By the way, there is something I definitely want you to be careful about when studying Buddhism.
This is because suspicious emerging religious groups may hide their true identity and sell goods under the guise of being our friends, or make them participate in seminars and then get them to believe. Books, etc. written by representatives of organizations that have caused a great deal of trouble to the world while hiding their identity are usually lined up in ordinary bookstores. It would be extremely unfortunate to be taken advantage of by your weaknesses and your desire to learn.
Please do your best to be careful.
I am very happy that you want to learn Buddhism. Please do your best.
The question of what kind of books should I read is extremely simple, yet difficult. Answer: Each monk has a different denomination, a different learning process, and a different ascetic process. The books each answering monk has read are also different. I don't think all the monks recommend books.
◎ Since Buddhism originated in India, it is a book written about the teachings preached by Buddha and Buddha.
Here are some Iwanami Bunko books written by Nakamura Hajime.
“Buddha's Life,” “Buddha's Words - Suttanipata,” and “Buddha's Words of Truth and Inspiration”
◎ I'm from the Soto sect, so in a book written by a Soto sect monk
Sakai Otake “Just One Thing Will Change Your Life: Recommendations for Love Language” Magazine House
Aoyama Shundo “Flowers Bloom Because There Is Mud” Gentosha
Although he is a member of another sect (Rinzai sect), I often read books by the late Matsubara Yasumichi. I think there are many books that are already out of print, but many new books have been released from Shodensha.
I recommend books such as “Introduction to the Heart Sutra,” “Introduction to the Kannon Sutra,” and “Introduction to the Buddha Sutra.”
I think there are also recommendations from monks who are young in terms of age and from young sensitivities.
tentatively
“Introduction to Buddhism from Zero Knowledge” Osada Yukiyasu, Gentosha

Personally
“From Everyday Life to Spirit” Nakano Yoshitoshi, Kyoiku Shinchosha
https://www.amazon.co.jp/日常から精神へ-現代真宗名講話全集-仲野良俊/dp/4763301039
is one of the most recent recommendations.
There is a wide range of teachings, from common teachings to teachings of each denomination, so I'm at a loss as to what is good, but if I leave the teachings of the denominations to the monk at your family temple, for example, I would like to introduce books written about common teachings.
“Buddha's Words of Life”
Written by Miyashita Makoto, Nagaoka Shoten, 486 yen+tax
Some of the Dhammapada (Dharmapada Sutra) have been picked up and explained, and the content is very easy to understand.
I read your question.
As with anything, we start things because they're “fun.” As an entry point, I recommend “So Buddhism is interesting” by Yuji Uogawa.
Since it is written by a young author for young people, it is by far the easiest to read than other Buddhist books.
