To transform this century of war into a century of peace, we must cultivate the limitless inherent power of human life. This is the 'human revolution', and it will be the theme that flows consistently throughout the novel." So wrote Daisaku Ikeda when he began The New Human Revolution, which chronicles the growth of the Soka Gakkai from the time he became president in 1960. This is the story of Josei Toda's disciples as they strive to carry on his spirit to share the humanism of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism throughout the world. Much more than a novelized history, The New Human Revolution is also a pertinent textbook of how to practice Buddhism and build a movement for peace today. A must read for anyone who wishes to truly read about a truly great man. After reading this, you will understand why there are so many people in the Soka Gakkai. This is the story of a young man who devotes his life to fight for world peace. Remembering how his mentor had devoted his life to propagation, young Shinichi takes his first step towards world wide propagation. You can truly see the spirit of Mentor and Disciple in this book.
