Book, The Challenge to Establishing the Imperishable Truth, Ryuho Okawa, English

Shipping is scheduled to begin around January 2026.

　Based on decades of Ryuho Okawa’s actual spiritual experiences and his lifelong effort to demonstrate that life does not end at death and that the spirit world truly exists, The Challenge to Establishing the Imperishable Truth: Now is the Age of Spiritual Awakening unveils profound wisdom on how to live a truly fulfilling and meaningful life. Okawa encourages readers to establish a spiritual view of life—one that recognizes the true nature of human beings as souls, understands that life on Earth is a training ground for deepening love and enlightenment, and accepts that our soul’s journey continues in the afterlife.

 　As an expert in spiritual matters and the world beyond, Okawa explains with clarity and compassion that how we live our roughly 30,000 days on Earth determines our path after death, in accordance with the laws of cause and effect. A life of goodness and gratitude brings tenfold happiness beyond this world, while self-centered living leads in the opposite direction. He also warns that unresolved suffering in this life carries over to the next, and that suicide does not end pain—it only multiplies suffering in the afterlife.

　Okawa further emphasizes the need to reform modern education shaped by materialistic values, reminding us that the true purpose of learning is to seek Truth and nurture the soul. Recognizing that life continues beyond this world, he calls on readers to refine the mind and heart as a path to enlightenment, illuminate the world with their inner light, and live according to a spiritual view of life. This, he teaches, forms the foundation for a new value system essential for the coming age of spiritual awakening.
