Recommended books for beginners studying Buddhism

Elder Albomulle Sumanasara's
“Why aren't we satisfied with our dissatisfied people?”
That's it.
It is a book that is easy to read in terms of volume, yet it is packed with necessary teachings.
It's not a book where you can learn Buddhist terms systematically, but I think it's a good book for understanding the Buddhist way of looking at things.

“What happens after death?” At Kadokawa Bunko, you can quickly understand the structure of reincarnation and enlightenment beyond that.
The trilogy “How to Look at Impermanence,” “How to Look at Suffering,” and “How to Look at Selflessness” is now difficult to obtain in a new edition if it were from the sanga, but enlightenment in Buddhism is a bit difficult, but it is written.
If you want to touch Shakyamuni, there is “Buddha's Sacred Place,” which is full of photographs. This is also a sanga, so it's hard to get, but it would be nice if it was in the library.

If it's Zen Buddhism, the calligraphy of these people would be good.
It's “meaningless” unless it's a book by someone who revealed the contents of Kichin and Buddhism. That's great
Even if it's Zen Master Sama of the Soto sect, bad things are no good. Whether or not the content properly saves you is more important than fame. effectiveness. medicinal properties.
True Buddhism, the right law, is not a career, position, or brand.
“There is no meaning” means not being saved from life, old age, illness, death, and all the suffering, stress, and hesitation in life. If it were unsaved Buddhism or unsaved teachings, it would be useless for people with a shorter lifespan to just read it.
Let's say Ikegami Akira, who is a good storyteller, wrote a Buddhist book. Let's say it was really easy to understand. But the person himself doesn't realize it, but they are simply good at explaining and “easy to understand.” It doesn't lead people to enlightenment. It's like people who can't make soba write a soba making book. You'll be able to say it. If an idol comes out, it will “sell.”
Similarly, even if you get hold of a book by a monk or Buddhist scholar who doesn't properly explain the principles of Buddhism, it's about “getting knowledge about Buddhism.” Would that be a life saver?
no. It's called Buddhist knowledge. Even if it's learning, it won't save you. Even today, there are monks who have taken the desire for self-realization ahead of their desire for self-realization and seek important positions and high positions in the sect even though “the content of Buddhism” has not been properly clarified through ascetic practice and school attendance, and there are also monks who have a sign of “I am the only one” aside from those who have been picked up by the media and misunderstood. If a book by a monk famous for his mentality is good, that's fine. However, it does not mean that you have been saved from your own life, old age, illness, or death just by falling into the illusion that you have joined the ranks of famous monks. Isn't it impossible to say that it will “save” your life?
It may seem dry, but it's a matter of course. natural logic. mercy.
Healing is healing. temporary.
Salvation is salvation. It lasts a lifetime.
Salvation in Zen Buddhism is to properly see that the effects of the mind that afflicts oneself are all effects of thoughts created by oneself, discern the source and the ego-effect of the self called the “person” that handles it, and push that loud, loud ego to the point where it is harmless to humans and animals through the selfless and selfless “I'm not there” acts of zazen, meditation, and Buddhist practice.

“An introduction to loose Buddhism that anyone can understand”
“Learning Buddhism for the first time in Demon Slayer”
Both are books by Tomomi Matsuzaki
It's easy to attach.

I also recommend the temple's puja,
What are my super introductory Buddhist books
“I Love You” by Thich Nhat Hanh (Kawade Shobo Shinsha) list price 1200 yen without tax
That's it.
It's more like self-enlightenment than an introduction to Buddhism
It contains enough essence.
After all, it's easy to read. Easy to understand. Kindness fosters.
It's such a book.

Incidentally, Master Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese monk,
It was famous for its mindfulness meditation method.
It was. I said that because he passed away the other day.
If you don't mind, pick up the book.
FYI. One bow
