Daisaku Ikeda introduces us to an understanding of the Lotus Sutra, a fundamental text of Mahayana Buddhism, which states that the condition of Buddha is eternal and accessible to every person. Through a series of dialogues examining the profound symbolic meanings of the sutra, Ikeda offers a topical and down-to-earth interpretation of this text, which proves to be a key teaching for opening up new perspectives for humankind at the dawn of the third millennium.
The first volume examines chapters from the first (Introduction) to the eleventh (The Appearance of the Precious Tower).
