Every time I'm amazed by the expansive life state of Dr. Ikeda, just when I think it couldn't be possible anymore. The busiest man on the planet finds time to study not only Buddhism but all important texts surrounding history, culture, and education.
To be able to share a compassionate spirit through the written word- now that's quite a feat especially for a man who only knows Japanese and most of the world reads the translations of his actual works.

Daisaku Ikeda, as always, writes a tremendously inspiring book to use his life as an example of single-minded determination towards cultivating world peace.
The last portion of the book, which shares his response to the history of Nazi Germany and the occupations of East and West Berlin, reminds me of Mr. Ikeda's first encounter with racism in the US when visiting Chicago during his first overseas trip (documented in New Human Revolution Vol. 1).
In his accounts of experiences in both Chicago and Berlin, he lays out the relevant history and compassionately shares how he embodies the suffering of those settings. Both are tragic and extremely meaningful, but the reflection of his experiences in Berlin in several times more compelling and profound than the reflection of his experiences in Chicago, likely due to his increased experience as an author and a human being.
It is exceedingly exciting to sense Dr. Ikeda growth as a person across volumes of NHR, so I'm invigorated to continue reading it!
Thank you, Daisaku Ikeda!

It all begins with ONE individual!
Sensei Ikeda's arduous journey in encouraging the people of the world to practice the Law is beyond anything you will come across.
