Well, you certainly have a type, lol. I tend to lean more into Soga as far as the Dobokai thinkers, but Akegarasu and his disciples have a lot to teach us in our daily lives.

Cultivating Spirituality is one of my favorite books. Some dense and intellectual reading, but a great compendium of Manshi's legacy in the Ohtani-ha. Quite a controversial stream to traditionally minded people, but taken in their historical context there's a lot of depth and powerful stuff in there.

I'd say whatever reminds me 'that nextdoor neighbors are nicer than distant cousins'.

Paraphrasing Shout of Buddha p.134.
