He is also a Buddhist, having practiced Buddhism for over forty years with the Soka Gakkai International, the largest Buddhist lay organization in the world now, with 12,000,000 members in 192 countries and territories around the globe. Of his book "Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective" "If I were to teach a basic college-level course in religion, philosophy, or metaphysics - call it Spirituality 101 - this book would be required reading. In fact, it would be the first week's assignment. Having read all or parts of nearly a thousand books dealing with spiritual matters, I cannot recall another that so simply and effectively blends the fundamentals of religion and science." - Michael E. Tymn, Journal of Religion and Psychical Research. "A must read! I am serious when I say that reading James Hilgendorf's 'Life & Death: A Buddhist Perspective' was a life-changing experience. It has changed the way I will live the rest of my life." - Lisbeth Gant-Britton, author of "African American History, and UCLA adjunct professor in African-American Studies. "Forever Here", a book of short pieces evoking the mystery and beauty of life, introduces itself with a short poem the author addressed to his wife: Flowers can bloom from nowhere. From the deepest gloom, brimstone And dreams gone awry, then Tiny buds of hope flower into Your view. Bitter the days, cold winds Strafing the land, then Sun and waters flowing Down through sweet valleys. I would hope to live forever. By your side, tasting whites and Blacks and blues, Tenacious days set against Foul and fair weather. Forever here.
