### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Buddhism Brought to Light
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2014*

People often talk about "karma' and usually with a negative connotation; but they seldom ask or wonder what karma is and how is it produced. People when asked what they think of when they hear the word "Buddha", often say what generally comes to mind "is the statue of the little fat man with the bald head". This book and the others that I have listed, clarifies the examples I mentioned and much, much more. Buddhism: The First Millenium offers a concise and informative explanation that reveals how Buddhism spread and became a teaching followed by millions of individuals the world over; after the passing of it's founder. Daisaku Ikeda, the author writes in a manner that is scholarly but in terms that are easy to understand and comprehend. This particular book is the second in a series of three that take into account a historical overview as to how Buddhism came into being. The first book, The Living Buddha; the second book that I am commenting on now and the third book, The Flower of Chinese Buddhism allows the reader to access Buddhism from what I believe is an objective viewpoint from the author. The writing appears to be geared towards informing and bringing to light a teaching or religion that is often talked about but not really understood.
