In the five lectures in this volume, taken from the "Buddhism of the Sun" series, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda addresses new members in particular, outlining the cornerstones of Soka Gakkai Buddhism. From the non-duality of master and disciple to the desire for happiness for self and others, from the spirit of standing up on one's own to the network of "good friends" we find in the organization, Ikeda illustrates the Soka religious revolution, a light of humanism that spreads across the planet, and explains how the samgha, a harmonious community of practitioners united with an open and egalitarian spirit, plays an irreplaceable role in helping people pursue their Buddhist practice.
