New human Revolution, Vol 25 by Daisaku Ikeda
This Volume continues the story of Shin'ichi Yamamoto's tireless and painstaking efforts to build the Soka Gakkai into a "Bastion of capable people" by raising committed leaders and youthful successors to carry forward the mission of kosen-rufu. With steadfast focus, he pours all his energy into motivating and encouraging the members into sharing Buddhism with others so that they too can experience indescribable happiness in their lives.
The Starting point of the Soka Gakkai was founding president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi's earnest desire to eliminate the suffering and misery of all people, particularly children. His personal struggles and endeavours to draw up the principles of Soka Education and translate these into practice are recalled here.
At the same time, the volume commemorates the selfless, sincere and unbegrudging contribution of the pioneering members of the Soka Gakkai and describe Shin'iche's high regard for them. It highlights his endeavours to wholeheartedly meet and encourage as many of them as he possibly could.
A prolific writer, peace activist and poet, Daisaku Ikeda's major works include The Human Revolution(12 Volumes); Choose Life: A Dialogue with Dr. Arnold J. Toynbee; A Lifelong Quest for Peace with Dr. Linus Pauling; and Walking with the Mountains: Gandhi for Modern Times with Dr. N Radhakrishnan.
