I started studying philosophy by myself when I was about 23 years olds.

Living in one room near Waseda University, I had a chance to attend a biginners' class of Sanscrit as an irregular student through the kindness of the teacher in charge of the class.

I completed this book in 1984 when I was 27 years olds and published it on my own account in 1985.

After having wandered over the world for two years, I decided to return home in order to engage myself in farming. Since then, I have been somewhat concerned about this book because it has been left unnoticed to the world.

But, thanks to the develoment of "Internet," I came to think of putting this book on the world wide network few years ago in order to finish my role.

It has taken me almost one year to translate it into English. I'm afraid I made a lot of mistakes in this translation because of my poor ability. So, Iwish to have them corrected by a competent person within one year or so.
