Esperia Young Citizens of the World
Ikeda talks with young people on the topic of global citizenship. What does it mean for a young person to become happy? Can this ideal be realized only by seeking satisfaction in work and in the network of friendships and personal ties?

Daisaku Ikeda delves into the topic of human rights and explains what it means to him to be a citizen of the world. He emphasizes the importance of cultivating noble ideals and being a participant in the society in which one lives. The volume includes a dialogue, unpublished in Italy, on the topic of volunteerism.

Esperia Prayer and action
Ikeda dialogues with young people on the topic of prayer and action. What power is released from the recitation of daimoku? Is it really true that if we direct our prayers to the Gohonzon they are fulfilled? Why does an organization like the Soka Gakkai exist? Daisaku Ikeda answers these questions posed by some young people with concrete examples that are immediately understandable. His words help readers understand some of the cornerstones of Buddhist faith, in the two aspects of personal practice and commitment aimed at supporting the kosen rufu movement. "President Toda," he says, "used the expression 'absolute faith' to describe the condition in which one experiences that life, in itself, is pure joy. If you progress in faith without ever stopping, you will certainly become capable of experiencing that condition."
