"In 1951, todays multimillion-member worldwide Buddhist association the Soka Gakkai was a tiny group of just some three thousand people trying to make their way in postwar Japan. On May 3 that year, Josei Toda became the organizations second president and, determined to eliminate misery in Japan and the world, declared that he would realize a membership of 750,000 households before he died. Making the Impossible Possible chronicles six trailblazing campaigns that Mr. Todas young disciple Daisaku Ikeda led to make that goal a reality in less than seven years. By doing so, he opened the way for all members to deepen their conviction in faith, develop a sense of real joy and happiness, and trigger a new wave of expansion. To this day, these pioneering campaigns continue to inspire Soka Gakkai members all around the world, providing invaluable guidance and memorable lessons. Most importantly, these stories lead us to believe that, like Shinichi Yamamoto (Mr. Ikedas character in The New Human Revolution), if we keep our mentor in our hearts, no target is too high and no goal impossible to achieve.

This book draws mainly from The New Human Revolution and includes passages from other of Mr. Ikedas writings. World Tribune Press editors express our appreciation to the editors of Eternal Ganges Press in India for conceiving of and researching this valuable reference"--.
