Embracing the Future
Embracing the Future, a bilingual volume by Daisaku Ikeda, contains 15 English essays—originally published in the English—language daily The Japan Times between September 2003 and January 2008—and their Japanese versions. In the work, Ikeda not only offers a vision of hope, despite the magnitude of the challenges we face, including eradicating poverty, nuclear weapons and our tendency to resort to violence and war, but also shares a wealth of personal insights and recollections culled from decades of peace advocacy. His "unshaken belief that the wisdom to transform" lies within the human spirit calls on each one of us to take action for others and, in striving to be the best we can, to demonstrate "the power of the individual to transform history and create the future." The English essays have been reprinted in 26 newspapers in 19 countries to date.
