A great geographical and cultural distance separates Japan from Argentina. However, Daisaku Ikeda, president of Soka Gakkai International, and Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, have managed to build a deep friendship, based on common affinities and values, in defense of human rights without borders or discrimination. Ikeda and Pérez Esquivel engage in a dialogue on topics such as solidarity, the wisdom of peoples and women, resistance to totalitarianism, the search for effective action, and the valuing of diverse cultures, with the aim of finding a path to peace. Through words and examples from their lives, the authors seek to convey to young people the value of energetic and passionate commitment to peace, hope, and justice for their peoples and for all the peoples of the Earth.
