Shingan Ryoku Kinkakuji Ginkakuji Jushoku Ga Oshieru Mekiki (Gentosha Shinsho a 18-1)

[Machine Translation] In today's society, which is full of hoaxes, frauds, document falsification, and fake news, the most important thing needed is the ability to recognize the real/fake. Is the information spread true, and are the people with whom we do business trustworthy? The informatization of society has added to the difficulty of discerning authenticity. The author, who is the abbot of Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji temples, has been familiar with calligraphy, paintings, and antiques since childhood, and is known as a master connoisseur who opened a museum that houses many national treasures and important cultural properties. His keen sense of authenticity, cultivated through encounters with Pope Francis and other "men of truth" and through "experience," the most important element of Zen, teaches us how to live without hesitation in the modern world.
