Ikeda Center for Peace, Learning, and Dialogue The Ikeda Center is an institute for peace, learning, and dialogue located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Since 1993, the Ikeda Center's core practice has been to engage scholars, students, spiritual practitioners, social innovators, and others in openhearted and open-minded dialogue in pursuit of a shared vision for future progress and well being. To this end, we organize and conduct seminars and public forums designed to cultivate the "humble willingness to learn from others" that Center founder Daisaku Ikeda identifies as "profoundly meaningful, invariably fostering deep, empathetic connections." We also publish dialogue and other multi-author books focused on this same goal of creating a shared vision for global well being.

This week, you heard what our panelists are looking forward to exploring at our annual Ikeda Forum on Fri, 9/25 @ 7pm. Finally, let’s hear from our moderator, Mr. Bhuvan Ravindran, Nature & Climate Policy Professional and Founder of ARGO! He shares:

“I am seeking to explore avenues of education for global citizenship in daily life, to answer questions like: What does it mean to be a global citizen? Why is it important? What can I do to nurture those qualities amidst a busy schedule? What are some concrete actions I can take? But more fundamentally, I hope that we empower each other to decentralize global peace as a culture of dialogue between two people who are brimming with unconditional respect for each other. This dignifies even ordinary and seemingly uninvolved people into protagonists for a peaceful world.”

We can’t wait to see you and explore these wonderful questions together at the forum! RSVP at our link in bio! ✅
