Publisher's summary

Daisaku Ikeda, one of the most beloved Buddhist teachers in the world today, offers powerful and inspiring teachings aimed at an American audience. His warm, deeply insightful, and compassionate style makes his wisdom accessible to people from all backgrounds.

This collection of addresses from Mr. Ikeda’s visits to the United States in the 1990s cover a wide range of topics, from the true meaning of happiness and success to how to find your true purpose in life and how an inner transformation of human beings can bring peace to the world. This is truly a textbook of happiness for America.

Also included in this collection are Mr. Ikeda’s university lectures, at such institutes as Harvard and Colombia. These lectures range widely across topics as diverse as art, religion, culture, and time, and draw creatively on the sages of ancient India, China, and Japan as well as on visionary thinkers from every nation, including Tolstoy, Victor Hugo, and Gandhi.

A wonderful book

A fantastic book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be highly intelligent and generally worthwhile. I found great relation with the author and I further highly recommend this book.
