You Were Born for a Reason has already sold more than half a million copies in its publication in Japanese as Naze ikiru, and is still going strong.
Life is vaguely pleasant in its way, and fulfilling.
But at the same time it is a disappointment, especially when one's routine is the same day after day.
There is a nagging sense of emptiness.
In the middle of busy days, a sudden void opens in the heart, and thoughts arise:
My life was never meant to be this way.
What if it goes on like this to the bitter end?
What's the point?
Shouldn't there be something more?
We lose ourselves in work, love, family, or leisure, and we come to believe that these pursuits give us a reason for living, but only as long as we forget the shadow of death.
Why is our happiness always mixed with sadness?
Where can we find true happiness that will never fade away?
What is there in life that will never betray us, that we can devote ourselves to without regret?
These age-old questions cry out for clear answers.
You Were Born for a Reason addresses these questions head-on. It shows, through the prism of Shinran's words, that human life has a definite purpose that must be accomplished, and that human life is infinitely precious and valuable. It points readers toward the way to attaining the true purpose of life.
Who I'd like to meet: 仏教の勉強しています。特に浄土真宗、親鸞聖人。

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)

a letter to dream theater: Greetings you incredible musicians, sound-enchanter, and gods of prog! We, humble and unworthy, appear before your throne, to beg for a chance to play with our most revered and admired musicians on the occassion of your playing in Munich at the Toolwood Festival. Most certainly it would secure our eternal gratitude if you might take the account of putting in a good word for us with the promoter, to whom we already appealed, and who in fact did take us into consideration. With the utmost gratitude, DREAMSCAPE from Munich
to our fans in munich and all over the world: maybe you can help us to get this gig! just post it on dream theater 's sites... we hope this could work! kind regards! dreamscape
