A gifted interpreter of timeless Buddhist wisdom creates ardent, moving images, exhorting contemporary readers to speak out for peace and justice. An excerpt: ""All people have the right to live in peace! What is needed now is for each individual to become stronger, to check and triumph over authority. To do this is our right. We struggle and raise our voices loud in order that we may live lives of wonder and joy. Never believe that the greatest, most irresistible force is the power of the state. For the energy of the soul, the might of the human spirit, is an even greater force, the most magnificent power of all. Let us form in our hearts the resolute will to realize peace, summoning a force sublime and unsurpassed.""

Deep and strong determination to actualize peace,
By fu (tokyo, japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fighting for Peace (Paperback)
Inspiring and encouraging. Encouragement we need now, in the age of disbelief and loss of hope. It seems like a lot of people today already have decided somewhere in their hearts that peace is something we can only talk about. But reading these poetries written by someone who has actually taken solid actions which have all undeniably lead to his ultimate goal, peace and happiness of humanity, one's heart begins to feel that, maybe, this IS possible.

Some Hope in the Dark,
By Susan Marne (Highland NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fighting for Peace (Paperback)
This book has helped save my sanity. Since before we invaded Iraq, I kept wondering "why"? None of this seemed necessary. I wrote letters to my congressmen, even called them up. And still we went to war. When Baghdad fell, I thought at least it's going to be over quickly. First it seemed like it was going to just simmer; now it seems like it is all about to explode. I know a young man in our town who was killed over there and I go online to the part of armytimes.com where they show the profiles of the fallen. When I look at the faces of those brave young men and women whose lives have been cut short so terribly, I just cry. A friend of mine who knew how upset I've been gave me this book. It has helped a lot just knowing someone feels as strongly about this as I do. For me right now, that is a source of hope.

Insight into a young man's life during WWII in Japan,
By Ruthie "PS" (Methow Valley WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fighting for Peace (Paperback)
This is a moving expression of young Daisaku Ikeda's life while growing up in Japan during WWII. Everyone should read this book to understand we are not so different from each other as humans sharing this planet, and how we impact each other's lives. Cannot give it enough stars, and would love to hear other people's impressions.
