The natural sympathy and understanding of people everywhesoil in which the new humanism can thrive.' For Daisaku Ikeda, whose words these are, education has lothe fundamental priorities of his work and teaching. His emphasis on the intellectual legacy bequeathed to humanity by the great teachers of civilization is encapsulated by the notion of a 'new humanism': a significant residue ofwisdright circumstances may be passed on to future generations, expanding horizons, making connections between different cultures and encouraging fresh insights and new discoveries across the globe. These circumstances are perhaps most fully realised in the context of universities. In promoting hof education and peace, the author has delivered lectures and speeches at more than twenty-five academies, colleges and research institutes worldwide.This stimulating collection, which includes the authorlectures, 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.
