Dialogue: Peace is not some abstract concept far removed from our every day lives. It is a question of how each of us plants and cultivates the seeds of peace in the reality of our daily living, in the depths of our being, throughout our lives. I am certain that herein lies the most reliable path to lasting peace.
La paix n’est pas un quelconque concept abstrait bien éloigné de la vie quotidienne. La paix dépend de la manière dont chacun de nous en plante et en cultive les graines dans la vie de tous les jours au plus profond de soi et tout au long de sa vie. Je suis convaincu que c’est là que se situe la voie la plus sûre vers une paix durable. (Daisaku Akeda)
