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.
The exchanges between Sir Joseph Rotblat and Daisaku Ikeda read like an absorbing textbook for understanding the deeper currents of humanity’s struggle to live with itself in an age of nuclear arms.
