Carrying Forward the Spirit of Nikkyo Niwano
— Building Trust and Shared Flourishing in a Divided World —
At a time when humanity is confronted with profound and interwoven challenges—war, social division, ethnic conflict, and the climate crisis—distinguished leaders from the fields of religion, peacebuilding, and international cooperation will gather to reflect together on the future of trust, peace, and shared flourishing.
The symposium will also bring together Gakurin seminarians, who will add the voices and aspirations of the next generation, creating a meaningful dialogue across generations.
Carrying forward the spirit of dialogue and coexistence to which Rev. Nikkyo Niwano devoted his life, this symposium will explore new possibilities for cooperation that bridge cultures, religions, and generations.
We warmly invite you to join this international dialogue, where the wisdom of leaders from around the world meets the hope and vision of the next generation.
