"The natural sympathy and understanding of people everywhere
must be the soil in which the new humanism can thrive." For Daisaku
Ikeda, whose words these are, education has long been one of the
fundamental priorities of his work and teaching. And his emphasis
on the intellectual legacy bequeathed to humanity by the great
teachers of civilization is in this volume encapsulated by the
notion of a "new humanism": a significant residue of wisdom that in
the right circumstances may be passed on to future generations,
expanding horizons, making connnctions between different cultures
and encouraging fresh insights and new discoveries across the
globe. These circumstances are perhaps most fully realized in the
context of universities. And in promoting his core values of
education and peace, the author has delivered speeches and lectures
at more than twenty-five academies, colleges and research
institutes worldwide. This stimulating collection, which includes
the author's most recent lectures, ranges widely across topics as
diverse as art, religion, culture and time, and draws creatively on
the sages of ancient India, China and Japan as well as on visionary
thinkers from every nation, including Tolstoy, Victor Hugo and
Gandhi.
