Daisaku Ikeda's lectures on the writings of Nichiren Daishonin. "No matter how adverse the circumstances, as long as we have hope, we can never be defeated; as long as we have hope, we can continue to advance." With these words, Daisaku Ikeda invites the reader to approach the study of Nichiren's writings, seeking in them support and a source of inspiration to face the most difficult situations. But Nichiren's writings are also the testimony of a master who dedicated himself entirely to the good of his disciples and risked his life to transmit the teaching. This is precisely the spirit with which Ikeda examines the writings in this volume and updates their meanings, inviting everyone to "read the Gosho with their own life."
