Is our future set in stone? Worldwide spiritual sensation, Ryuho Okawa, brings us the gospel for this turbulent millennium in The Laws of the Sun: One Source, One Planet, One People, revealing that it is up to us to become the authors of this century. As the world struggles through many economic crises, prophecies of Judgment Day arriving in 2012, international religious and political conflicts, and natural disasters, we are in need of the power of spirituality, love, and wisdom more than ever before. Ryuho Okawa reveals the truth of the common source of all humankind – regardless of race, religion, and culture – and when we, humankind, discover the divine purpose bestowed onto our common identity, all will be inspired to unite as one people of our one beloved planet. Ryuho Okawa, a globally renowned best-selling author, revered World Teacher, and the founder and CEO of the Happy Science Group, was born on July 7, 1956, in Tokushima, Japan. From a young age, Okawa demonstrated remarkable self-discipline and humility, along with a strong desire to help others. His journey took a transformative turn in 1981 when he attained Great Enlightenment. Despite this profound experience, his humility remained unwavering, fueling his mission to share a universal Truth that unites spirituality, pragmatism, religion, and science into one cohesive source. Okawa graduated from the University of Tokyo with a degree in law and began his career at a Tokyo-based trading company. He was soon assigned to the company's New York head office as a Finance Officer. In 1986, Okawa left his prestigious career behind to establish Happy Science. Since then, the organization has grown into a global movement, with a presence in over 186 countries. Okawa has authored more than 3,250 books, which have been translated into 42 languages.
