A beautiful book

I bought this book written by Keiko Yanagisawa who is one of the greatest life scientists in Japan.

The title is 'Wisdom to live and to die;(i-ki-te shi-nu-chi-e)'.

The content of the book is the one that 'Ha-n-nya shi-n-gyo-u' is translated into the present age word by a scientific interpretation.

In addition, it is translated into English by Hideo Riibi.
I have never seen Ha-n-nya shi-n-gyo-u in English before.

There are some wonderful pictures painted by Fumiko Hori among the pages too.



A few years ago, I read a book by Sachiya Hiro whose title was 'Bu-kkyo-u wo i-ki-ru 1'.
Reading the book, I learned that 'Ha-n-nya shi-n-gyo-u' was one of the greatest wisdom for man.
I have been its fan since then.

I knew this book in the newspaper ad the other day.
And for that reason, it caught my eyes.

The number of pages aren't so many, so I could read through it soon.
But I can't understand what the writer is saying very well.
Because it is philosophical, so it is too difficult to understand.

But I think it is a good book!!
