Esperia The essence of man
On the threshold of the 21st century, rapid scientific and technological advances in medicine have enabled modern civilization to make enormous strides forward: many serious diseases have been eradicated, the terrible epidemics of the past have been stamped out, surgery, with the help of highly sophisticated techniques, now makes it possible to heal once incurable diseases and to improve the quality of life for many sick people. But at the same time, man has been experiencing increasingly widespread and worrisome "suffering of the soul." Indeed, rapid changes require engagement that undermines our spiritual energy, causing mental disorders and depression. A Buddhist philosopher, a biologist and a bioethics specialist seek common ground to address the major issues that the new millennium has brought with it: in vitro fertilization, the fight against cancer and AIDS, euthanasia, the doctor-patient relationship, and bioethics. This book provides insights, viewpoints and reflections on the challenge of being human today. The more feeble our contact with nature and interiority becomes, the more distant the goal of every human being -- happiness -- becomes. What we can hope for-this is the authors' thesis-is for science and spirituality to harmonize having Man, and his well-being, as the only end. René SimardEx rector of the University of Montreal, molecular biologist, is a renowned authority in the field of cancer research. Guy BourgeaultHe is a professor at the University of Montreal in the field of bioethics research and cultural education.

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? In this volume, topics of global significance are addressed that, while seeming far removed from everyday reality, have repercussions for those living their youth in an increasingly complicated world. 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 The volume includes a dialogue, unpublished in Italy, on the topic of volunteerism.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."

Esperia Personality and character
Ikeda dialogues with young people on the topic of personality and character. Youth is the stage of life when the roots of personality and character are formed and when one questions who one really is. It is the time when doubts arise about one's abilities, tendencies and characteristics. It is in the time of youth that one begins to realize one's weaknesses and strengths. Dialogue with a master is about clearing one's mind of doubts, understanding one's inherent qualities, figuring out how to build one's inner strength, and beginning to chart the path of life. This is surely the intent of Daisaku Ikeda, master of so many young people: "What dreams do you cherish in your heart? What hopes? A life filled with hope is strong. Hope is the most powerful weapon."

Esperia Culture, Art and Nature
The text addresses the themes of respecting nature, understanding artistic phenomena and the importance of reading, true nourishment for the mind. Reading is a dialogue with characters, intellectuals, masters of thought far away in time or space, and even with cultures of the past. The author not only provides food for thought, but also lavishes practical advice on how to improve one's ability to read. Discussing the view of nature, he introduces the Buddhist concept of "dependent origination," reiterating that we are all connected to each other, as well as to every other phenomenon in the universe: "Life is a chain. Everything is linked. When one link in the chain deteriorates, all others will also be affected. We should regard the environment as our mother, Mother Earth."
