“It is important that we have the inner richness to be able to look up at the stars or the moon and compose a poem once in a while. When we open wide our minds and fix our gaze on the universe, we fix our gaze on our own life.”
[The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra]
“Supporting, encouraging, and reinvigorating each suffering individual we encounter is the first sure step to realizing a society that respects the dignity of life; it is the starting point for building peace.”

Fifty years ago, on April 1, 1974, Daisaku Ikeda delivered his first overseas lecture, “Toward a Century of Humanity,” at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). This was the first of many lectures he would give at various universities and academic institutions around the world. In this lecture, drawing on the Buddhist concept of the Middle Way that corresponds to the western ideal of the Golden Mean, Ikeda urges humanity to balance desires with spiritual development toward the creation of a genuinely human and harmonious civilization.
Ikeda states, “We must align human civilization with the greater self, the eternally abiding reality that underlies the changing phenomenal world, and thereby enable its full and harmonious flourishing. Then and only then will humanity stand on its own and build a civilization that is authentically human.”
