Every year since 1983, Soka Gakkai International (SGI) has published a peace proposal authored by its President Daisaku Ikeda. These proposals put forth ideas addressing global issues, grounded in hope and Buddhist humanism to help build the foundations of the culture of peace. Commemorating the 40th peace proposal, a panel discussion was held with peacebuilders and educators from around the world – live on Facebook.
