Abstract:
In this article a tripartite conceptual framework is used to bring together various insights about Daisaku Ikeda’s praxis of peacebuilding through music. Beethoven was a powerful source of inspiration for his Inner Transformation. Art Blakey’s advice to “play from the inside,” explored in a dialogue with jazz greats Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, can lead to the sharing of inner joy, providing a basic ingredient to enhance Dialogue. Finally, one reason for the establishment of the Min-On Music Research Institute in 2014, was to multiply dialogues, in order to enhance Global Citizenship through collaborative research, practice and education. May these insights serve as an entry point into the vast world of Ikeda’s praxis of peacebuilding through music.
