Esperia School and Work
Ikeda talks with young people on the issues of study and work. "Youth is the battlefield where suffering and hope struggle. Who will win? It absolutely must be hope that wins. No matter how much you are suffering right now, always remember that you were born to win. Because if you do not give up, you can be sure that the dawn will surely rise. Never forget that you possess the invincible sword capable of breaking any suffering." These are the words with which the author addresses readers in the epilogue of a volume that deals with the issues of study and career choices. These are particularly hot topics, with respect to which everyone is called upon to bring his or her whole self to bear. Indeed, at the basis of every achievement, as Daisaku Ikeda points out, there is always an energetic challenge, fueled by a profound hope directed toward the future.

Esperia People's Buddhism
This book is rooted in the need to want to delve into the historical events that led the Soka Gakkai to emancipate itself from the clergy of the Nichiren Shoshu and what its intentions are as a secular religious association that concretely promotes peace, culture, and education throughout the world. The first part of the volume provides an overview of the history of Buddhism, Nichiren Shoshu and its patriarchs up to the present day, with special emphasis on the narrative of the events that led to the separation in recent times. The second part, on the other hand, deals with doctrinal aspects, specifically: the Gohonzon as an object of worship for the happiness of all mankind; the Gongyo ceremony; the significance of daily practice; and Nichiren Daishonin's Writings, writing and translations. The topics covered, also developed on the basis of sources outside the Soka Gakkai, aim to make this text an agile reference tool not only for those who wish to have a comprehensive overview of the events with the Nichiren Shoshu, but also for those who need to find philosophical-religious information.

Esperia The mysteries of birth and death
Although over seven hundred years old, Nichiren Buddhism offers a very valid prescription for the sense of helplessness and despair that pervades society today. Fate, of course, does not always turn out to be in accord with our desires, but Buddhism, and especially Nichiren Buddhism, enables us to develop the power needed to transform it. Nichiren Buddhism casts its light on all aspects of human life by penetrating its core. Universally applicable to all humanity and in all circumstances, it is worthy of lifelong study and practice.
