His thoughts are made available to English speakers for the first time in Marvin Harada’s translation of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAwaken to Your True Self.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Along with essays on topics such as “What is Religious Faith?” and “The Spiritual Home,” Yonezawa shares the life examples of Buddhist followers—friends and patients—that he was fortunate enough to meet. Each of these stories shines like a polished gem. The Buddhist path is most clearly embodied not in doctrines and institutions, but in the self-awareness and resilience of people who have awakened to the true self. The book is certain to deepen one’s appreciation of Shin Buddhism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“How should we express what \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eshinjin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is in this day and age?
