Summary

"With a vision informed by the life-affirming teachings of Nichiren, the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist teacher and reformer, as well as great world thinkers and philosophers like Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Tolstoy, Gandhi and others, Dr. Ikeda approaches the issue of peace from many angles.
Prominent among the topics addressed are economics, the environment, the power of dialogue, the proper role of religion, the compassionate spirit of the bodhisattva, the importance of culture, the role of the United Nations, disarmament, the sovereignty of the people and the importance of global citizenship."--BOOK JACKET.
