This volume contains 2580 essential terms for understanding the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, which is based on the Lotus Sutra. In particular, it refers to the writings of Nichiren Daishonin Buddha, who worked to restore the humanistic meaning of the teachings of the historical Shakyamuni Buddha. It is one of the most extensive collections of Buddhist terms in the Italian language currently on the market.
"If the Buddha, after awakening to the Dharma, or the Law of life, had not committed to teaching it to others, his enlightenment would have been incomplete. Furthermore, even if the Buddha himself had expounded this Law without others participating in its dissemination, it would not have brought benefit to people. It is our hope that the publication of this dictionary in Italian can serve to make the wisdom of Buddhism accessible to an ever-increasing number of people, allowing them to find a path to true happiness and thus contributing to the realization of a peaceful world. If, by reading this dictionary, people are able to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Buddhist philosophy, I will be profoundly pleased."
