Why Can't Japanese Buddhists Achieve Enlightenment? - A Groundbreaking Debut! While the Buddha's direct disciples attained enlightenment one after another, why is it that modern Japanese Buddhists, even with serious practice, cannot achieve enlightenment? What, in the first place, is "liberation and nirvana" as spoken of by the Buddha? Why did the Buddha continue to live in this world even after "enlightenment"? This definitive treatise unravels the mystery of "enlightenment," the starting point and the greatest enigma of Buddhism, and rewrites the Japanese view of Buddhism.
