The Importance of Dialogue

Daisaku Ikeda says:

Dialogue -­ It is the light that eliminates the dark shadows of violence.

Dialogue - It is the sword of peace that cuts the synergetic ties that bind distrust to hatred to war.

Dialogue ­- It is the wings that bring people together and carry us over the walls of confrontation and social disintegration.

To revive and return to the art of dialogue, and to multiply the number of participants in dialogue, is our first task as people of the 21st century.
