Ikeda Sensei – The Triumph of Mentor-Disciple Spirit
Dr N. Radhakrishnan
This book contains reflections on the mentor-disciple relationship and on selected writings, speeches & dialogues of President Ikeda by Dr Radhakrishnan.
“Global Civilization” emerged from a series of conversations between two peace advocates of Japanese and Iranian origin. It covers the encounters between Buddhist and Islamic civilisations from the 7th century to the present.
The introduction of Buddhism to China is a fascinating story of the meeting of two great civilisations: India, the land of the Buddha’s birth, and China, where Buddhism was transformed into a world religion and from where the Buddhist scriptures eventually spread to Japan.
Along the fast-paced course of this dialogue emerges a broad yet sensitive glimpse of two men—one a specialist in chemistry/a scientist, the other a Buddhist—both strongly committed to peace and disarmament as fundamental human rights.
