Product Description:
- The Soka Gakkai recently marked it eightieth year, but it is part of a much longer history, stretching back to the day that Shakyamuni Buddha left his palace and began seeking the truth. The Buddha's vow -for all people to establish absolute happiness and wisdom in their lives - is the core of Buddhist humanism, and the same as the vow for kosen-rufu shared by members of the Soka Gakkai Internation.
President Daisaku Ikeda's 1973 book on the life of Shakyamuni Buddha, "The Living Buddha", Buddhism: the First Millenium and The Flower of Chinese Buddhism followed. These three insightful history books inspired the staff of Living Buddhism to create a yearlong history series titled "The History of Buddhist Humanism" drawing heavily from those books, as well as from The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra and other sources.
