The Call of the Infinite represents the first introduction of the Greek public to the unknown path of Shin Buddhism, the largest Buddhist school in Japan. It is a spiritual tradition that directly addresses the profound questions of existence while also providing a form of inner practice accessible to the ordinary person seeking inner peace and a way to cope with their tumultuous daily life.

The author is Greek Ioannis Paraskeyopoulos, who resides permanently in Australia and is a Shin priest. Through this very concise book, he demonstrates why this form of Buddhism can resonate with the modern seeker who is troubled and saddened by the decline of the world around us.

This book tackles the great questions of human existence – Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? How can I live my life fully, with knowledge of the nature of things and compassion for all beings? Then, it guides the reader to answers from the perspective of Shin Buddhism.

It is a timely work, suitable for the difficult times we are experiencing, as it conveys a refreshing message and vision for the global society of the 21st century.
