The prominent Buddhist religious leader and advocate for peace,
Daisaku Ikeda, has placed dialogue at the centre of his efforts
towards securing global justice and conflict resolution. However,
far from constituting abstract plans for the future of the world,
Ikeda's dialogues represent very concrete and focused activity. He
concentrates on one significant individual (such as Joseph Rotblat,
Linus Pauling and Mikhail Gorbachev) at a time, or sometimes small
groups, in order to attempt the transformation of thinking and
society through intense discussion. This book offers detailed
exploration of this crucial aspect of Ikeda's philosophy of peace.
Contributors examine topics such as: the background to Ikeda's
dialogic thinking as found in the Lotus Sutra; Buddhism as a
practical philosophy of dialogue; Ikeda's use of dialogue,
specifically in the field of education; and dialogue in relation to
the abolition of nuclear weapons. Ikeda's concept of dialogue
emerges as a paradoxical movement towards common ground based on
respectful difference. This study will appeal to students of peace,
politics and modern Buddhism.
