Faith in revolution
To believe in both oneself and others, and to treat others as one would a Buddha - this is the practice that awakens and calls forth the Buddha-nature that resides within us all. It is precisely because we are able to muster faith in the Buddha-nature of the other person that we can bring forth compassion from within ourselves and, desiring happiness for all, continue an earnest and respect-filled process of dialogue.

Restoring
the Human Connection: The First Step to Global Peace
Much of the responsibility for the current situation must be laid at

Dag
Hammarskjöld's commitment to dialogue
I believe there is much we can learn from the life and example of Dag
Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary-General of the organization.
His achievements shine in the annals of UN history, and his moral force
and integrity as the "conscience of the United Nations" command
wide respect to this day.

Emerging
from the nuclear shadow
President Ikeda argues for nuclear abolition and emphasizes the
need for giving youth a voice in this matter. To emerge from the shadow
of nuclear weapons we need a revolution in the consciousness of countless
individuals -- a revolution that gives rise to the heartfelt confidence
that "There is something I can do."

The
power of empathy
Ikeda here tells a deeply personal story from the 2nd World War, how
his mother showed empathy towards an enemy soldier and how the family
lost its eldest son. "An empathetic recognition of our common humanity
can make our century a century of life," he concludes. (From The Japan
Times August 9, 2005).
