The Vow of the Ikeda Kayo-kai, Encouragement for Young Women, is a collection of messages, essays and a speech by Daisaku Ikeda. Also includes beautiful photos, songs and poems.
Who is Daisaku Ikeda? At one level, he is the leader of a religious movement – Soka Gakkai – which began in Japan, where it still has its headquarters, but which now claims 12 million adherents around the world.
Creating Waldens: An East-West Conversation on the American Renaissance is a deft and thoughtful dialogue by Daisaku Ikeda, Ronald A. Bosco and Joel Myerson.
The dialogue recorded here can be characterised as a vital bridge much like the ancient Silk Road, connecting the easternmost and westernmost civilisations of Asia.
