Inspired by the Buddhist humanism of our founder, Daisaku Ikeda, we believe learning and dialogue present the surest path to peace.
To have faith in the promise of dialogue is to believe in the promise of humanity.

Dialogue is the foundation for all of the Center’s activities, but more than that, in the view of our founder, Daisaku Ikeda, it is also the mode of engagement with others and the world that holds the greatest potential for enabling us to realize a more peaceful, flourishing world. This is because dialogue, as Mr. Ikeda conceives of it and we pursue it, is a forward looking and unifying pursuit.
