On Oct 17, 2006, Dr. Lawrence Edward Carter, Dean of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia, was in Singapore to officiate the exhibition "Gandhi, King & Ikeda - A Legacy of Peace". The interview surrounds the topic "Is the brand of peace promoted by Gandhi & Martin Luther King outmoded today?"
Have not heard of Daisaku Ikeda? He is a philosopher, educator, author, photographer, poet and recipient for more than 200 honourary doctorates from universities around the world. Check out some of them here:

It is not new to me how these people qouting and painting the gakkai in such a way. This website explains some of the factors behind Soka Gakkai's controversial reputation in Japan and its occasional negative media coverage.....sokaissues dot info--- will tell about this...

You got me wrong. Members of SGI don't worship Dr. Daisaku Ikeda. In fact, they don't worship anything. What they hv is an object of devotion that functions like a mirror. The basic belief is that everyone has the potential 2become Buddha - which is not a supernatural being but 1who's able 2overcome any adversity. This truth, expounded by Shakyamuni but hidden in e depths of e Lotus Sutra, was revealed by Nichiren. A mirror doesn't hv power, the power resides in e object reflected in e mirror.

Dr Daisaku Ikeda is a well-respected, ordinary citizen who opened up the way to peace through dialogue; notably, in his efforts in normalising the China-Japan, Russia-China relationship after the Cold War period. As with any great people, a well-respected person will inevitably invite jealousy&abuse from self-serving individuals. We can see this trend from history; Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandhi, Leo Tolstoy, etc, were all, at some point of time, hated by some groups of people.

"An eye for an eye and soon teh whole world is blind." It may already be. Acting like that just continues the cycle of violence and hate, when you do that to someone else, they will do it back to you. Your children and relatives will just suffer the same as you have done. We need to change how we deal with chaos.

Soft power and dialogue is a part of my plan when it comes to dealing with the international community. Iam a SGI member and candidate for the 2008 Presidential election and I tell you the movement has begun. Feel free to email me if you want to see a 9min youtube clip. This is great! Thank you so much Mr. Carter! President Hopeful Lanakila Washington

so im assuming that was recorded and aired in Japan?

@trailblazer0405 17 лет назад

Buddhism teaches that common mortals are common mortals because they do not believe in the good nature they or others inherently possess. Instead, they are clouded by greed, anger and stupidity. Nobel prize or not; time will tell. All too often, people only appreciate the greatness of people (or things) only when they lost them. (They were many opposing voices against Gandhi and King while they were alive, weren't there?)

@handrionurhan 15 лет назад

sometimes my friend, we just have to let them be,, better concentrating our energy to our friends who are willing to listen,, shakubuku! But can't deny I'm hot listening to their blindness about our Gakkai. cheers.

Quoting from Nichiren Daishonin, "Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Worthies and sages are tested by abuse." To understand further, please continue to read the World Tribune.

@FoodB12 18 лет назад

i agree with him, we need more dialogue

@trailblazer0405 15 лет назад

SGI is a lay Buddhist organisation that practices based on Nichiren Daishonin's teachings, a teaching which revealed the hidden truth (implicit meaning) of Shakyamuni's Lotus Sutra.

@sgcitizen 15 лет назад

why is that when I did some seach on the internet that some people say that they worship daisaku? is he a god or something to people who practices the teachings?

@lilhalosoldier 18 лет назад

If you want, we can have a clear debate through MSN messenger or any other tool you want.

@tom57 15 лет назад

Ask it to Mr Carter...

@trailblazer0405 17 лет назад

No, this was aired from Singapore to a number of countries in Asia.

@sgcitizen 15 лет назад

Some of my many mentors: Dr. Carter, Gandhi, Ikeda and King. We have so many graet roll models. Time we become the roll models we want to see.

Dean Carter is an amazing man. My favorite sermon that he preaches is "The Glory Of The Unrequired."

@sitjib 18 лет назад

Thank you for putting this on. This is a profound and important message, I hope many people will hear it and we can have some true discussion about what matters, from individuals, to communities, to global politics.
