Synopsis: The Soka Gakkai Buddhist movement in Japan has revived Buddhism in the lives of millions of Japanese, changed the course of Japanese government, brought creative new ideas to the field of education, and has impacted the worlds of art and culture. This movement is now gaining popularity in Canada. Why are so many Canadians now joining this movement? What is the appeal beyond the Canadian-Asian Community and how has this Buddhist sect managed to assimilate itself in a Christian society? This book seeks to answer those questions and more. It chronicles the rise of this branch of Japanese Buddhism in Canada and it studies the relationship between the parent group in Tokyo and its Canadian branch.

Daisaku Ikeda is the Buddhist leader of one of the most visible religious movements today, the Soka Gakkai International (SGI). This work offers an exploration of the peace philosophy of Ikeda and its contribution to recent thinking about peace. Daisaku Ikeda and the SGI have been the subject of several works in the fields of religious history and sociology. The focus of this research is on the significance of Ikeda’s contributions in the field of peace studies, where his work has not yet been the subject of systematic investigation.
