IOP NEWSLETTER NO.6

Soka Gakkai International President Ikeda envisaged the establishment of the IOP as an
academic institute of research into oriental wisdom when he visited Buddhagaya in India
on February 4, 1961. IOP holds a gathering every year to commemorate the day as ‘IOP
Day’. Below are summaries of world-famous intellectuals who have sent messages withhigh expectations for the IOP.

Dr. Adolfo Pérez Esquivel(Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Human Rights Activist)
IOP has contributed to the promotion of the study of and preservationof the Lotus Sutra through publishing facsimile editions of the Lotus
Sutra manuscripts owned by various institutes of the world. Sharing thisspiritual and philosophical treasure with the world provides a great‘light of hope’ that illuminates the spirit of humanity. I would like toexpress my strong solidarity with and support for the long-term andfruitful projects of the IOP.
Soka University

They have created a rich history of collaborations through numerous symposiums andexhibitions with various universities and institutes. These collaborative projects are
manifestations of the message, “Promoting peace and unity among people of different
cultures and societies brings about mutual respect for religions and philosophies.” The keys
that make it possible for us to discern and choose the best path towards a more just andamicable society without diverting our eyes from issues facing humanity are a correct sense ofcriticism and sense of values. Only through education can we cultivate these keys. The IOP iscreating a path of hope which allows us to find the ‘light’. (Translated from The Journal of
Oriental Studies Journal No.167)

Dr. Neelakanta Radhakrishnan(Chairman of the Indian Council of Gandhian Studies)
The IOP has also earned the distinction of forging durable exchange
programmes with several universities, institutes and centers of higher
studies to bring different cultures and people together, particularly
youth. The youth exchange programmes which the IOP has beenpromoting right from its inception have been found to be
exceedingly innovative and rewarding. Promotion of humanistic
ideals through education and research in order to promote a newgeneration of responsible youth who will be the torch bearers of a
new human revolution along the dreams and strivings of Dr. Ikeda
appears to be the core of the many successful efforts of the IOP.
The IOP, also in my estimation, has successfully promoted the role of dialogue in sustainable
development and peaceful living ― an important area Dr. Ikeda has been ceaselessly
promoting. The IOP with its multi focus initiatives toward sensitizing both youth and seniorscholars has established itself during its fifty years as a creditable institute and repository ofknowledge.

The 34th Annual ConferenceWith the Center for the Study of Conscience, Doshisha University

Religious Perspectives on Peace andHappiness in a Global Civilization

The Institute of Oriental Philosophy (IOP)
held its 34th annual conference on March
16 and 17, 2019, at Soka University and the
IOP respectively.
IOP domestic and overseas research fellows
gather every year at the conference forvaluable presentations on various themes
including the Lotus Sutra and inter-religious
and inter-civilizational dialogue as well as
solution-oriented discussions related topeace, human rights and the environment.
On March 16, in conjunction with theconference, the IOP held a symposium
entitled ‘Religious Perspectives on Peaceand Happiness in a Global Civilization’, incollaboration with the Center for the Studyof Conscience, Doshisha University. This
year marks the 130th birth anniversary of
British historian Dr. Arnold Toynbee, whose
dialogue with Soka Gakkai Internationalpresident and IOP founder Daisaku Ikeda
was published in 1976 under the title
Choose Life. At the conclusion of the
dialogue, President Ikeda mooted thecreation of a panhuman and global
civilization with religion playing a proactive
role: “Religion is expected to play a
proactive role in cultivating human mind,
strengthening

strengthening our moral sense, elevating
anddeepeningourmorality
andspirituality.”
Dr. Toynbee also remarked, “A future
religion that is to bring into being, and tokeep in being, a new civilization will have to
be one that will enable mankind to contend
with, and to overcome, the evils that areserious present threats to human survival.”
Taking its cue from the dialogue, the IOP
has conducted its own research on how tounderstand and apply the wisdom which
both scholars shared for the 21st and even22nd century.
In this context, the IOP recently focuses onbioethics and economic ethics to explore
the role of religion. The aforementioned
collaborative symposium on the role ofreligion, especially religious perspectives on
peace and happiness, was an academic
effort in this direction. The full texts will be
published in The Journal of Oriental Studies.
The IOP invited distinguished guests fromthe Center for the Study of Conscience,
Doshisha University, its collaborative
partner for the symposium. Dr. Katsuhiro
Kohara, director of the Center and professorof Doshisha University,

The Institute of Oriental Philosophy (IOP) plans and puts together ‘The Lotus Sutra―A
Message of Peace and Harmonious Coexistence’ exhibition, which has been touring theworld since 2006. The exhibition displays IOP’s research on the Lotus Sutra, and introduces
its teachings and the history of its dissemination in simple, easily assimilable language. As
pillar of exhibition activities initiated by Soka Gakkai International President Ikeda, the IOP
has conducted ‘The Lotus Sutra and Its World: Buddhist Manuscripts of the Great Silk Road’(1998-2000), ‘The Lotus Sutra Manuscripts: The World’s Spiritual Heritage’ (2003-04), and‘The Lotus Sutra―A Message of Peace and Harmonious Coexistence’ (2006-present). In
parallel, the ‘Buddhist Sutras: A Universal Spiritual Heritage―Manuscripts and Iconographyof the Lotus Sutra’ exhibition (2016-present) is also held for the public.
‘The Lotus Sutra and Its World: Buddhist Manuscripts of the Great Silk Road’, the very first
Lotus Sutra exhibition of the IOP, was launched in 1998 with 47 treasured items including
original Buddhist manuscripts and woodblock prints in 14 languages. Selected out of theapproximately 100,000 artefacts in the collection of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of
the Russian Academy of Sciences (IOM RAS), these items were displayed for the first time inJapan. The exhibition finally grew into the far larger and more comprehensive ‘The Lotus
Sutra―A Message of Peace and Harmonious Coexistence’ exhibition with many more
precious items on display.
Full support by the IOM RAS, the Dunhuang Academy China and the International Academyof Indian Culture has made it possible to display facsimiles and replicas of the Lotus Sutra
manuscripts and replicate the Dunhuang Mogao Caves along with other various Buddhist
items and materials. The exhibits include the Petrovsky Sanskrit manuscript of the Lotus
Sutra which seems to have been copied in the eighth century and the Gandhari replicatedmanuscript of Dharmapada which seems to have been copied from the first to second
centuries. Moreover, the exhibition shows imitative paintings of flying beings in Mogao
Caves, duplicated Dunhuang materials of the Lotus Sutra, replicas of iron pens and birch
bark used for copying and other objects. On display, are approximately 160 items. The IOP
also edited the guidebook to the exhibition that have been published in four languages:
Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese (simplified and traditional characters).
Based on the idea of “visualizing the Lotus Sutra”, the exhibition attracted 900,000 visitors in
17 countries and territories of the world as of 2019: Japan, India the land of Buddhism’s
birth, Nepal the birthplace of the Buddha, Thailand where Theravada Buddhism took root,
the Islamic cultural area of Malaysia, and others in Asia, Europe and Latin America (seetable). To date, Lee Soo-sung (former prime minister of South Korea), Vira Rojpojchanarat(Minister of Culture, Thailand), Jao Tsung-I (emeritus professor of the Chinese University ofHong Kong) and Burton Watson (English translator of the Lotus Sutra), many guests andrepresentatives from every section of society have visited to the exhibition.

Depok, Indonesia’The Lotus Sutra―A Message of
Peace and Harmonious Coexistence’
On September 10, 2019, 'The Lotus Sutra―A Message of Peace and Harmonious Coexistence'
Exhibition
exhibition was launched at the library of the University of Indonesia in Depok, Republic of Indonesia.
Of the countries and territories that have hosted this exhibition, Indonesia is the 17th.
On display were 110 items including those stored at the National Museum of Indonesia and the
University library, and 65 panels were revised to facilitate clearer understanding. Panels and items
introducing the history of Buddhist dissemination in Indonesia were a special feature of theexhibition. The National Museum offered its original panels explaining how people received
Buddhism in Indonesia, with a focus on Borobudur Temple Compounds (listed as a World Heritagesite by UNESCO). In addition, on display were three items unearthed from the Borobudur site.

Although about 90 per cent of the Indonesian population is Muslim, the constitution provides for
freedom of religion based on the Pancasila (five principles on nation-building). Today, thegovernment recognizes six official religions: Islam, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism,
Buddhism and Confucianism. With this in mind, the organizers of exhibition focused on showcasing
the universal values of the Lotus Sutra more than ever.

Guest Comments
Mrs. Sinta Nuriyah (Former Indonesian First Lady)
A tour of the exhibition and interaction with the staff, gave me a chance to learn
details of the history of Buddhism such as the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha and thedissemination of Buddhism. I appreciate the staff's clear guidance based on deep
understanding and knowledge of the history. It helped me understand the message
of exhibition and the teaching of the Lotus Sutra even in my short tour. The
exhibition will certainly contribute towards the achievement of peace. Seeing thecurrent situation in Indonesia, I think it is very significant to discuss peace right now.
I hope that, through exposure to this valuable exhibition, the people of Indonesia
ponder over peace building and make a difference in this world.

Dr. Muhammad Anis (Rector, University of Indonesia)
It is a great pleasure to attend the opening ceremony of the exhibition together withall of you. On behalf of the university, I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to workon this two-week exhibition as an organizer. It is my belief that the scholarshipdisplayed here will contribute to our social welfare. I would like to express myappreciation for the great efforts of the Institute of Oriental Philosophy (IOP) inmaking this exhibition possible in our country. Having been carried out by the IOP
for over 20 years, the exhibition is very appropriate for current times in Indonesia.
My hope is that the exhibition will provide our university a great opportunity to
expand knowledge of the subject.

Ms. Sri Hartini (Directorate General, Ministry of Education and Culture)
I would like to express my greatest praise for this exhibition. This project teaches us
the way of humanitarian tolerance, which indeed is a very appropriate message fortoday's Indonesia. The artefacts on display give us meaningful pointers for working
towards peace: mutual dialogue, learning from the past and search for self. Based onthese points, we are required to promote respect for cultural diversity. Indonesia has
a long history of exchanges with neighboring regions in Asia, and it has thereby
accepted diverse influences on its culture (expression and architecture) and religion.
With this background, there is great value to holding this international exhibition inIndonesia. Covering the Lotus Sutra manuscripts inscribed in a wide range of areas,
the exhibition proves that the Lotus Sutra is not just a Buddhist sutra but a universal
legacy of humanity. It is my expectation that, through the displayed items, thevisitors will learn the essence of mutual respect as a spiritual legacy.

Public Lecture Series:‘Human Rights and Human Future’
This year marks the 150th birth anniversary of M. K. Gandhi and the 10th anniversary of
publication of the dialogue ‘Message for the Age of Human Rights’ which Soka Gakkai
International (SGI) president and founder of the Institute of Oriental Philosophy (IOP) Daisaku
Ikeda edited with Nobel Peace Prize laurate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel. Taking this background as
its cue, the IOP organized ‘Human Rights and Human Future’, a public lecture series with

Lecturer: Mr. Masaru Sato
(Visiting Professor of Doshisha University, Writer)
October 11, 2019
Date:
Venue: TKP Ichigaya Conference Center(Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo）‘Divine Right and Human Rights in Christianity’
Title:
In his lecture, Mr. Sato mentioned, “Some textbooks of world history may regard established
Buddhism as one of the world religions. But such Buddhism is practiced locally in limited areas
like East and South East Asian countries. It is the SGI that makes worldwide advancement as aworld religion comparable with Islam and Christianity. As Nichiren prophesied, Buddhism
developed in the ‘easternmost’ country transmits westwards and around the world today.” Mr.
Sato went on to show how, historically, Christians in Europe shifted their paradigm of divine rightto human rights. He finally ended with respect for President Ikeda and SGI: “While a person called
communist or revolutionary would just try to destroy the wall, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda,
founder of IOP, has made many friends over the wall for peace building. This is a way ofhumanism and SGI develops such a true sense of human rights.”

Lecturer: Mr. Akira Kirigaya (Director of the Institute ofOriental Philosophy, Attorney)
Date:
October 31, 2019
Venue: TKP Ichigaya Conference Center(Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo）
Title:‘Respect for Sanctity of Life:
Philosophy Established as World Spirit’
In his lecture, Mr. Kirigaya first focused on the history of how a philosophical foundation forhuman rights was established, mainly through the genealogy of three generations of humanrights. He went on to state that the IOP has discussed significant approaches to issues of humanrights based on the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, especially the practice of Bodhisattva
Never Disparaging, who believed that all inherently possess the Buddha nature. Mr. Kirigaya
emphasized that the way to bring forth our supremely noble Buddha life force is a practice basedon the philosophy of respect for sanctity of life, as SGI President Ikeda advocates in our modern
age. According to Mr. Kirigaya, this philosophy is at the core of the human rights. He concluded
that the key is every single step and action of individuals for dialogue towards the realization of afuture vision as proposed by President Ikeda: “To see the philosophy of the sanctity of life
established as the spirit of the age and the world” as a goal of the third ‘Seven Bells’.

scholars of various disciplines to widely show a vision of human rights in the 21st century. The
following four lectures held in Tokyo and Sendai received a lot of positive feedbacks from an
audience of more than one thousand people all over Japan. One member of the audience
commented, “Through the lecture on the perspectives of human rights, I could learn how
important it is for each of us to have a dialogue so that we can walk a path of happiness.”◆Lecturer: Assoc. Prof. Hirono Ikeda(Associate Professor of Yamagata University)
Date:
November 28, 2019
Venue: TKP Garden City Sendai (Sendai-shi, Miyagi)
Title:‘Individual Dignity and Sexual Minorities:
An Overview of LGBT Rights in Japan’
Assoc. Prof. Ikeda disclosed that the term ‘LGBT’ (four main groups of sexual minority) was used
in official documents for the first time in 2006, thereby it finally became popular as a concept
related to human rights. However, it is still based on a male/female dichotomy and used forlimited minority groups. Therefore, the new term ‘SOGI’ (Sexual Orientation and Gender
Identification) has recently come into usage as a universal concept applicable to everyone. Assoc.
Prof. Ikeda said, “It is through deep understanding of both LGBT and SOGI that we can take asignificant step to live in a society and its legal system established on a basis of male/female
dichotomy. The perspective of both terms can help us see matters of sexual minority as if they
were everyone’s own, and become aware that we should take action for establishing a society
where everyone can shine.”

Lecturer: Dr. Makoto Kurozumi(Emeritus Professor, University of Tokyo)
Date:
December 13, 2019
Venue: TKP Ichigaya Conference Center(Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo)
Title:‘Positioning and Formation of Human Rights witha Focus on Experiences in Early Modern andModern History of Japan’
Dr. Kurozumi first emphasized, “We have few people who can show the vision to people today.
Therefore, we need such a person as SGI President Ikeda, who shows a great view of the world.”
Dr. Kurozumi gave some example of scholars and pedagogues who advocated correct views ofhuman rights, protested against the war and chose suppression rather than retract from theirpositions. He added that, unlike Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, founding president of Soka Gakkai,
general Buddhist and Christian followers compromised with the authorities rather thanpropagate the positions of their faiths on the matter to the world. People of religion generally
contributed to the development of philological interpretations of sacred texts such as the
Buddhist canon and the Bible, but failed to make the life of people better in reality. In thiscontext, Dr. Kurozumi concluded that the role of religion should be to help in establishing people
to people bonds in society rather than interpreting sacred texts.

and the Soka Gakkai have been involved in publishing the Louts
Sutra Manuscript Series, including facsimile editions andRomanized texts, which help promote Buddhist studies, inparticular further studies of early Mahayana Buddhism centeringon the Lotus Sutra.
The project was launched in 1994 and 19 items (17 titles) havebeen published as the manuscript series from 1997 to 2019. Partof the background leading up to this series was the fact that the
Soka Gakkai International President Daisaku Ikeda, founder of the IOP, was presented withseveral precious reproductions and microfilms of Lotus Sutra manuscripts by various institutes
and individuals.
Regarding the critical editions of the Sanskrit Lotus Sutra, among the pioneering works thathave been published to date are the Kern-Nanjo edition (1908-1912), the Wogihara-Tsuchidaedition (1934-1935), and the Dutt edition (1953). From the contemporary standard of thediscipline, critical editions that are more precise and reliable are required to enable future
research efforts. One of the purposes of the series publications is to provide basic data forediting such new critical editions.

A Critical Edition of the Sanskrit Lotus Sutra Based on
Gilgit-Nepalese Manuscripts (C3 Collated Text) (Not for Sale)
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Lotus Sutra
manuscript publication project the Institute of Oriental Philosophy(IOP) was commissioned to undertake in 1994. This volume is basedon the manuscript Add. 1682 (C3) preserved at Cambridge University
Library. It was published as a critical edition of the Sanskrit Lotus Sutra
with notes on variant readings of the Gilgit and Nepalese manuscripts.
C3 can be regarded as the oldest among the extant Nepalesepalm-leaf manuscripts, and its copy date is presumed to be the ninth
century CE. Although, the latter half of this manuscript is unfortunately
missing, it is considered a valuable document from the intermediate
period between the Gilgit manuscripts and the Nepalese palm-leaf
manuscripts.
This volume was edited by Mr. Haruaki Kotsuki, commissioned
research fellow of the IOP, and this collated text of the Lotus Sutra is avaluable addition to the extant critical editions.

A Modern Translation of The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra (2)6,500 yen (+tax)
The book came out as the first publication of the Totetsu series(Totetsu stands for the Institute of Oriental Philosophy in Japanese). It
was published as a translated edition of the latter part of The ProfoundMeaning of the Lotus Sutra by Dr. Hiroshi Kanno, deputy director of
the IOP.
The latter part of the The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra covers
the meaning of the title of the Lotus sutra (myoho-renge-kyo), thetrue phenomenon of the Lotus Sutra, the cause of Shakyamuni’s
practices and effect as the Buddha, the power of faith overcoming
doubt for the salvation of living beings, and others. The lecturer Tiantai
discusses the title of the Lotus Sutra in light of the five major principles
of name, entity or essence, quality, function and teaching. The bookoffers the complete translation as well as the annotation and index.
