MY NON VIOLENCE

An Autobiography of a Japanese Buddhist

NICHIDATSU FUJII

Translated by T. Yamaori

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

The most Ven, Nichidatsu Fujii (1885 -), also known as Guruji, is a figure familiar not only in Japan but all over the world for his eminent religious activity and pacifist movement.

Although the denominational background of Fujii-Gurji, who is now minety years old, is connected with the Nicheren sect, he for his part organized a unique sect based on millitant asceticism…We can say that the religious movement of his sect, namely the Japan Buddha Sangha, resembles more the movement of Jesuitism than that of Protestantism. The similarities between them are also evident in the field of energetic mission work in forreign countries and in such religious practices as ascetic celibacy, and severe training for the holy life.
