A poem of peace by Daisaku Ikeda

What the people long for
to carry them through the twenty-first century
is no reorganisation of external forms alone
They desire a sound revolution
carried out within themselves
gradually and in an atmosphere of peace
founded upon the philosophy and beliefs
of each individual
This calls for farsighted judgments
and a profound system of principles
This is what I would name a total revolution
and it is this
we call kosen-rufu.

From For the sake of peace

Could peace become as common as the bicycle?

Once-upon-a-time there were no bicycles, not a single one.

Then from out of the blue someone had the idea, like a spark of inspiration in the night, it became manifest in the mind and imagination of a single human being.

Today; billions of people ride bicycles all over the world.

The potential for this concept of riding on a device with two wheels didn't exist before, it was only a dream.

Once an idea becomes a possibility, it reaches the mass consciousness of humanity and becomes possible, when enough people connect with it it goes from fantasy to reality.

The same goes for peace, when enough human beings have peace in their hears and minds, it will be become a reality and be as common place as the bicycle.

For The Sake of Peace.

Compassion and love are the answers to everlasting peace.

“But when all the young men refuse to kill for the sake of peace, and when all the women forbid their men to kill for the sake of peace, and when you realize that no peace will come through killing, and that the end does not justify the means, and when you grow full and light with thoughts of peace, there will be an end to war. But as long as any men go to war for the sake of peace, there will be war. And, as long as any woman teaches her sons to go to war because of love of the peace, there will be war.

You make your world. When you populate your world with ideas of peace, then peace will grow. When you think thoughts of aggression, you attract aggression and you draw it out from others in daily contact, and on the part of nations.

...Now you cannot understand this now, and yet I tell you that your own preoccupation with arms, as a country, is received by others, and your own thoughts are materialized and you create wars in your minds that then must be faced with your flesh and your blood.

The reality that you have is a replica of your thoughts. If you do not like the world, you must change your thoughts and no exterior manipulation will change the face of your experience one iota, if you do not change your dreams and your thoughts.

...Unfortunately, you equate aggression with strength, so you are afraid to elect a peaceful man. And all the other countries feel the same, so they are afraid to put into power, by whatever means, peaceful men. And so your world situation is the result of your individual beliefs, en masse.

...Now, when individually you believe in peace, and when you no longer believe that good is weak and evil is powerful, then, on countrywide bases, you will put people into power who believe in the active nature of peace. And, again, there is no other answer.”
