Ikeda Center for Peace, Learning, and Dialogue

Founded in 1993 by Buddhist philosopher, peacebuilder, and educator Daisaku Ikeda, the Ikeda Center's mission is to build cultures of peace through learning and dialogue. Our work is aimed at helping to establish, across cultures and religions, a shared global ethic based on respect for the absolute sanctity of life and a firm belief in the human potential for good. The Ikeda Center is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

Our programs include the development of multi-author books on topics in peace, learning, and dialogue; a fellows program to advance research on a humanistic form of learning called value-creating education; an annual Ikeda Forum for Intercultural Dialogue; and “Dialogue Nights” for college students and young professionals. These programs are inspired by founder Daisaku Ikeda's belief that open-hearted, open-minded dialogue presents humankind with the surest path to peace.
