While scholars differ on his birth date, it is suggested the historical Buddha of India, Shakyamuni, was an "awakened" One almost 3,000 years ago. His time on earth in the Buddhist calendar is known as the Former Day of the Law. Around 550 c.e. or common era the great Scholar, Teacher and Priest, Tien Tai Chi'I of China, brought together all the various Buddha Sutra's or wisdom teachings into an encyclopaedic and academic whole. Going beyond theory and doctrine he declared the Buddha's highest teachings were to be found in the Scripture of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma. This greatly affected the Mahayana Tradition. He then went on to explain how the universe works in the concept of NOW or Ichinen Sanzen. This time is known as the Middle Day of the Law. In 122 c.e. a fishermans son was born, his name was Zennichi-maro. Like many first sons of his day, at the age of 12 he was sent off to learn and be the spiritual guide for his family. After attaining status as a Tien Tai Priest he spend many years completing his Ph.D in Buddhist Theology. He came to realize that Shakyamuni of India, Tien Tai of China and Dengyo of his native land of Japan were correct in their predictions that a time would arrive when the Buddha-way would be open to all Beings regardless of their lifestyle, culture or country. The time was and is now the Latter Day of the Law. Within the pages of this book you will find the tools and actual proof needed for widening the doors of your Spiritual Health.
