There are 10 chapters in this book, including topics such as What is True Happiness, The Practice for Transforming Our State of Life,  Transforming Suffering Into Joy, Facing illness, Joy in Both Life and Death.   

In the “Preface” of the book, Ikeda Sensei writes: “I would like to dedicate this book, a collection of words of encouragement that embody the oneness of mentor and disciple, to Presidents Makiguchi and Toda and entrust it to our precious successors.”

It is a book that Ikeda Sensei has compiled for everyone, hence anyone can be empowered to prevail over any adversity in life and help others do the same.
