Additional Description

Abstract

On January 26 every year since 1983, Daisaku Ikeda has authored peace proposals exploring the interrelation between core Buddhist concepts and the diverse challenges global society faces in the quest to realize peace and human security. Peace Proposals have been presented to the United Nations.

Both the English and Japanese versions of these messages prior to the 1990s can be found together. Later, the messages have been presented separately. Both versions can be found on this page and accessible to the SUA community.

The proposals from 2000 onwards are also available at Daisaku Ikeda Website. https://www.daisakuikeda.org/sub/resources/works/props/
