"The ability to engage in dialogue is one of the most outstanding human attributes. Dialogue expresses our humanity.
"Through talking with one another, hearts open, mutual understanding develops, and friendship spreads.
"True dialogue is not putting on a facade and spouting empty, flowery rhetoric. Dialogue is interacting life to life, just as we are, as fellow human beings, with sincerity, conviction and patience.
"A Buddhist sage1 once said: 'The voice carries out the work of the Buddha' (WND-2, 57). The Lotus Sutra—extolled as 'the king of sutras'—is a dialogue among Shakyamuni Buddha and his disciples. Nichiren Daishonin wrote his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land' as a dialogue between a host and a guest. Dialogue has the power to encourage and engender hope. It is a wellspring of courage and a fresh breeze of revitalisation. It is a bridge connecting people’s hearts.
