This might as well be first such formal dialogue by two people from Israel and India, focusing on using poetry as an art for building more peace at personal level.

Rising
From the ordinary people,
The Soka Gakkai stands!
Formed
by the ordinary people,
The Soka Gakkai stands!

Hundreds and thousands,
Spreading like a wildfire-
Uncontrollable,
Larger than sight-
The Soka Gakkai stands!

Countless lives,
Like the vapours
Rising around snow-captured Fuji-
Their voices rising in unison,
The Soka Gakkai stands!

Having risen
From the ashes,
Like an artwork of the Universe-
Past, Present and Future
People singing high,
There are millions now,
And the voices too hard to count

History
Fought against
Injustice, Dignity and Human Rights
The Soka Gakkai stands!

Yet countless lives,
Too hard to count-
The human spirit liberates,
Life shines bright,
There are those
Embattled in the daily living
Yet there are those
Who have grown as champions

The Soka Gakkai stands,
Revealing the true power
Of the human spirit-
How many are those
Having stood by the side
Of each other,
How many are those
Having marched together,
Yet,
How many are those
Having celebrated together

The Soka Gakkai stands,
The Soka Gakkai lives,
The Soka Gakkai-
So indestructible,
So magnanimous,
It pulsates in my life.

80 years ahead,
The Soka Gakkai-
The history, conviction and togetherness
Flows out
As there are millions more
Who wait
To be awakened.

Deep blue sky
Envelopes this land
of symmetrical lights -
As if paving the way
for people to come out
And become dancing figures
around the stars and these lights
When viewed from above the stars.

Every man, once awakened to the deepest nature of life, must write his own story. The forces of tyranny that bound our hearts must be brought to an end. How far must a man travel before it is far enough to reach an inhabited land? This itself presents a challenge that can almost torment the human mind.

Whilst it is a unique journey that each man must carry out for himself, he must do so, if he is to experience a breath of absolute freedom and a state of life where there is no looking back or regret. How many people get the chance to live such a life? Most of them may think that it is a free life whilst being oblivious to the influence of a deeper conciousness that moves them from one direction to another, only to be driven by it, let alone know that it exists in the first place and that there is something that could be done to overcome it.

It is the power inherent in every man, each one being endowed with it, which can lead to the state of absolute freedom. However, if this power, residing inside a man really exists, then how is he to bring it out and make use of it? Whatever be the way to open the storehouse of this power, he must do so in all possible forms – in speech, sense, perception, expression, thought and action.

It is like flames raging out of each window of a house on fire, like a whole body vibrating with a deep sense of solidarity with the universe itself. If mankind is to free itself from these deep shadows of control and confinement, then it must give form to this power.

Like these great men in the history, who continued to open out this power for themselves and for their fellow countrymen, a man must live out this power.
