Selected passages from the writings of Nichiren Daishonin for young women with commentary by Daisaku Ikeda.
This volume contains one hundred passages from the writings of Nichiren Daishonin, selected over the past several years by the young women of the Soka Gakkai. Each of the passages is accompanied by a commentary by Daisaku Ikeda-president of the International Soka Gakkai and leader of the Buddhist movement that draws on Nichiren Daishonin's teachings-relating to the topic covered, thus offering readers clear guidance on how to put the Daishonin's words into practice in their own lives, and an in-depth study by the young women of the International Soka Gakkai's Study Department.
"If you read and study Nichiren's writings, you will become wise and develop a truly wonderful heart," Daisaku Ikeda once said to a young woman.This is the spirit that animated the editors in compiling the selection in the book, which, while easy to read, offers a broad view of Buddhist principles that can transform lives, becoming a tool for inspiration and insight that will endure.
"Make study your foundation!" This is an eternal guide for young women. Women who possess the bright mirror of Nichiren Buddhism in their hearts cannot be swayed by turbulent times nor defeated by adversity.
Daisaku Ikeda
