"“The Gosho, the collected writings of Nichiren Daishonin, elucidates the means for all people to attain enlightenment. It is the eternal teaching. The Gosho is a scripture of boundless hope…. Some Gosho, of course, are very doctrinal and complex. But we do not necessarily have to understand all of the Daishonin’s writings. The important thing is to have a keen desire to read the Gosho and to expose our lives, even for just a short time each day, to Nichiren Daishonin’s spirit.”—Daisaku Ikeda Volume 1 contains text and background material of 172 letters and treatises. Several useful appendices and an exhaustive glossary will help you in your study to deepen your faith and elevate your state of life."
