Daisaku Ikeda is the president of the Soka Gakkai International, a lay Buddhist association pursuing the values of peace, culture, and education. He is the author of "Choose Hope", "For the Sake of Peace", and "On Being Human".
"Ikeda reminds us that hope is neither easy nor does it mean
acquiescence to injustice. These essays open our eyes to the
profound and courageous determination required of those who decide
for hope." Sarah Wider, professor, English and Women's Studies,
Colgate University
"Daisaku Ikeda draws from the well-spring of his eventful life and
imparts page after page of rich insight, royal wisdom and spiritual
truth. This volume will greatly strengthen your devotional
meditations and commitment to personal and global peace." Lawrence
E. Carter Sr., Dean, Martin Luther King Jr. Chapel, Morehouse
College
"In this collection Daisaku Ikeda beckons us to probe deeper into
our own lives so that we can change the world around us. Having
witnessed and experienced the worst, he reaffirms that life does
continue, that the light of hope can be found in the very darkest
corners." Anwarul K. Chowdhury, former Under-Secretary-General,
United Nations
"Ikeda's lyrical and contemplative musings give ample reason for
hope and optimism, especially during a time when darkness seems to
be descending on the world . . . . Ikeda has much to say about the
human condition, and he does so artfully and with great
understanding." Joseph S. Pete, Foreword Reviews
" Hope Is a Decision: Selected Essays is Ikeda's latest
contribution of timely, relevant, contemporary commentaries on the
critically important issues of life in our world today. Informed
and informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking, inspired and
inspiring, the book is very highly recommended." Midwest Book
