The Tenth Anniversary Of The Launching Of The First Satellite, The Social Unrest Of The 60S, And The Return To Life Of Microorganisms After Millions Of Years Of Dormancy Are Among The Many Events That Have Stirred The Imagination Of Daisaku Ikeda As He Wrote These Essays. What Makes These Essays Of Interest Particularly To Westerners Is An Approach That Is Fresh In Its Insights. Those Who Lack A Knowledge Of Buddhist Philosophy Are Inclined To Think Of It As Something Misty And Mythical, Belonging To The Remote Past, But Nothing Could Be Further From The Truth. The Complex And Everchanging World Of The Present Often Leaves The Individual Perplexed, Paralyzed In Both Thought And Action. The Author Offers No Panaceas, But In His Characteristically Straightforward Style He Does Encourage The Reader To A Deeper Understanding Of The Life Force Inherent In The Universe And Urges Him To Be Concerned About Such Matters As Sound Education, Good Government, The Uniqueness Of The Individual, And Human Relationships Devoid Of Sham And Hypocrisy. The Approach To Life Presented Here Is By No Means Vague Theorizing. The Author Became An Adult Amid The Wreckage Of War. Too Poor Either To Enter A Sanatorium For The Treatment Of A Chronic Illness Or To Continue On To Higher Education, He Eventually Recovered His Health And Went On To Gain A Keen Appreciation Of The Essence And Significance Of The Various Academic Disciplines By Studying Under A Particularly Gifted Teacher. A Theme To Which He Frequently Returns Is The Huge Disparity Between Mankind'S Technological Advancement And Its Ethical Retardation. [Translated From The Original Japanese By Burton Watson]
