What are the key points for raising happy and peaceful children? The most important are the life force, wisdom and love of parents. Treasures of the Future offers all parents essential guidance for developing themselves as they face the challenges and concerns that accompany raising children. SGI President Daisaku Ikeda's warm suggestions, based on a broad outlook on life, are solid guidelines for building happy families.
Raising children is the oldest activity for humankind, since the dawn of time it has never stopped; at the same time, it is always the first time for each person. Therefore, I believe that if predecessors told their experiences frankly, they would naturally form a supportive chorus for young people and help them develop courage, wisdom and confidence. This is the reflection from which this book, which is the result of a series of dialogues held with a number of mothers who are also leaders of the Soka Gakkai, was born. - Daisaku Ikeda
