Promoting Peace

Dialogues to promote peace and harmony - The Leadership of Dr.Daisaku Ikeda             Dr.Daisaku Ikeda, the president of Soka Gakkai International and a widely respected philosopher, poet, founder of the Soka education system, and a tireless promoter of a world without war has been employing dialogue as a very effective strategy in promoting awareness among people. Engaging in dialogues with the best brains in different fields in different parts of the world in an attempt to share, analyse, focus and critically examine common concerns and issues with are arising out of contemporary developments in various fields of human endeavours has been found to be extremely useful and rewarding in the sense that these dialogues reveal responses of profound significance and offered in an atmosphere of friendliness and ease and there is no trace of laboured intellectualism which very often characterises what comes out of most of the celebrities when called upon to react to specific issues

The visible and invisible threads that run through the entire creation further weld the planetary manifestations with the cosmic realities. The roaring waves have never succeeded in tiring the Sun or the Moon from discharging their duty to the fauna and flora. The lightning or the torrential rains have also never hindered the appearance of rainbow. The birds, which wake up the slumbering millions in the morning also never ceased to fly across fearing any consequence. All these things happen and continue to happen from time immemorial. (Ikeda Sensei, The Triumph of Mentor - Disciple Spirit, P. 1).
