THE NEW HUMAN REVOLUTION VOLUME - 3 | Daisaku Ikeda | Kharidobechobooks

In 1961, Daisaku Ikeda, then president of the Soka Gakkai, embarked on a journey of "westward transmission" - a voyage to take the humanistic philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism to Asia; in particular, to India, the cradle of Buddhism. The third volume of The New Human Revolution is President Ikeda's account of "his mission to bring the light of hope to the people of Asia". It chronicles his encounters with ordinary people in Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia people striving to tap into the inherent power of human life and accomplish their "human revolution". It is the story of his endeavour to plant the "spiritual seed of humanism in the hearts of all Asian people" - a humanism that resolutely protects the dignity of human life and creates lasting peace and happiness. Embracing this ideal, President Ikeda has travelled around the globe, interacting with distinguished political, cultural and educational figures. He has also made numerous proposals on peace, disarmament, culture and education.
