The autobiographical novel by Daisaku Ikeda, SGI President. Shin’ichi Yamamoto’s travels around the world continue, aimed at making Nichiren Daishonin’s teachings known and spreading the Middle Way, the philosophy of the absolute dignity of human life.
It is 1966, and Shin’ichi visits several South American countries where practitioners are facing severe difficulties due to living conditions and opposition from authorities. For this reason, the president never misses an opportunity to try to make the humanitarian goals of the movement he leads understood.
Just over a year later, the Soka High Schools in Tokyo were also opened, representing Shin’ichi Yamamoto’s first step in giving concrete form to the system of creative education promoted by Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda.
"Our organization and our movement are sustained by individuals. When people fundamentally transform their inner attitude, awaken to their life's mission, and can manifest their highest potential, they succeed in changing everything. The constant commitment to encouraging individuals is the lifeblood of the kosen-rufu movement."
