Ikedaism 101

BUDDHISM and Other Faiths
     
Editorial SGI-UK Express June 1993 by Dick Causton
"It's probably on the way to twenty years ago that I first heard
about a conversation between President Ikeda and the Vatican
ambassador to Japan of that time, concerning inter-faith
relationships.  It has remained vividly in my memory and since then
I have often recalled his words when answering members' questions
on this subject.
     
Just recently, this same historic meeting has become a focal
point for reflection once again, for Sensei has expressed his view
that the time has come in the movement for kosen-rufu for dialogue
with other religions to be initiated
.'We look upon you as our
elder brother,
' Sensei said at the time. 'As younger brothers, you
may find us more energetic, but it would be absurd for us in the
future to argue over converts."
