Summary:

Echoes and Reflections, The Selected Works of Daisaku Ikeda, Showcasing some of the most potent and far -reaching spiritual works of our times, this major new series brings together - for the first time under the banner of a single imprint - twelve classic dialogues between modern spiritual master Daisaku Ikeda and a distinguished roll call of discussants, who are uniformly thinkers of global stature and reputation. Echoes and Reflections ranges widely across the fields of religion, politics, economics, science and the arts, and in each instance puts a profound and searching new perspective on some of the most pressing issues of our age. Topics covered include: the search for worldwide social justice; the challenges posed by climate change and diminishing natural resources: the perils of religious misdirection; the urgent need for inner growth and harmony; the importance of learning and education; and above all, the significance of the human quest for meaning and value in life.
