Daisaku Ikeda

Japanese Buddhist leader (1928-2023) · Japan · On the map · Writers · Died at 95

Daisaku Ikeda was a Japanese Buddhist leader, author, educator and nuclear disarmament advocate. He served as the third president and then honorary president of the Soka Gakkai, which is considered among the largest of Japan's new religious movements, but has also been described as a cult by medias and politicians.

Daisaku Ikeda is read about 755 times a day, in 26 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 8 November 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 413 days, one point a day.
