The New Human Revolution is an ongoing historical novel in which Daisaku Ikeda, as third president of the Soka Gakkai lay Buddhist organization, documents its development from the time he assumed the helm in 1960. It is essentially a story of how “human revolution”—the calling forth of the “limitless inherent power” of the human spirit—can build a movement for world peace and individual empowerment, a dynamic process of betterment referred to within the Soka Gakkai as kosen-rufu. Ikeda expects The New Human Revolution to eventually reach 30 volumes by the time it is completed, which, having started the novel at the age of 65, he regards as a personal duty and a supreme lifelong challenge. English editions of The New Human Revolution are published by World Tribune Press in the USA, the SGI-UK in the UK, the Eternal Ganges Press in India and the Singapore Soka Association in Singapore. It is also available in booklet form in Malaysia and in the Philippines, published respectively by Soka Gakkai Malaysia and Soka Gakkai International of the Philippines.
