Daisaku Ikeda- For The Sake Of Peace-Seven Paths To Global harmony
A Buddhist Perspective. If you can pick up a copy, So many perspectives to learn from!

If only we had leaders that could think like Daisaku,
The world could be heaven on earth!

If we take a hard look at the world today, we can discern a
new current aleady at work beneath the Violent waves of
change.
As I see it, we are on the threshold of a new age of dialoge.
For years I have been calling for genuine dialogue among
the top leaders of major powers.
They ought to meet for the frank and contructive exchange of views,
rise above their differances in ideology and social system,
and free themselves from preconceptions.
Only then can the foundations for peace in the tweenty first
century be laid.
More than thiry years after Daniel Bell first coined the phrase
(the end of ideology) we are finally witnessing the burgoning of a new
perspective that, going beyound differences of system and ideology,
considers the Earth as a single, interconnected whole.
It is said that President franklen D. Roosevelt, attending the
Yalta Conference, was determined to follow Emersons adomonition:
The only way to make a friend is to be one.
I for one, believe that when the political world loses sight of
Emersons Kind of idealism it is destained to degenerate into the
world of beast that Plato envisaged.

Nam Mo A Di Da Phat to all
