Buddhist principles beautifully illustrated.
-Charles Mabbott
It is an intriguing story. It pulls you in and makes you want to read it.
-Simon Lopez, age 12
In Saved by the Light, Lela Ryterski tells the heart of Nichiren's enlightenment story in a straightforward, engaging narrative.
-Kate Rich
Saved by the Light is a story about the samurai warrior, Shijo Kingo, and the Buddhist monk, Nichiren Daishonin. Nichiren is a rebel. Shijo Kingo is quick-tempered and, like most of us, has an inherent sense of what's right and what's wrong. He becomes Nichiren's pupil and learns to chant a powerful invocation that can bring peace to the world. Because Nichiren refutes the main religions of his day and teaches the chant, he is almost killed and is exiled. However, the key to his victory lies in that very same chant. This is a true story of amazing events that saved Nichiren's life.
There are now more than 12 million practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism worldwide as a world peace movement. It is the fastest growing sect of Buddhism in modern times.
