ECI is an organisation that drives a global movement towards a more just, sustainable and peaceful world, through Education and resources. They expresses their most sincere and deepest condolences with a tribute to the visionary philosopher and peace builder : 

ECI described him as an outstanding and very sensitive human being. He as a firm believer of interfaith dialogue and collaboration across sectors and generations; had a vision and tireless commitment to supporting and empowering young people 

They summarised his speech given at Columbia University in 1996 on “Thoughts on Education for Global Citizenship” and deemed it as a masterpiece: (as stated below with some salient points) 

“I (Daisaku Ikeda) think I can state with confidence that the following are essential elements of global citizenship: 

  • The wisdom to perceive the interconnectedness of all life. 
  • The courage not to fear or deny difference but to respect and strive to understand people of different cultures  
  • The compassion to maintain an imaginative empathy that reaches beyond one’s immediate surroundings and extends to those suffering in distant places.” 

 ~ Being more, not having more.” 

As a special friend and supporter of the Earth Charter for over 25 years, he contributed to the drafting process of the Earth Charter and taking stage of the central idea (in the Earth Charter Preamble) that states, “We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more.”  

They also thank his tireless efforts and contributions towards building a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.  

They admire his curiosity to undertake dialogues with thought leaders from around the world. His annual Peace Proposals offered impactful recommendations that are much needed for this current time. 

Lastly, may his soul rest in peace. May the seeds he planted continue to grow. May the flowers he planted and cared for blossom, and may his light continue to shine.

ECI是个通过教育和资源推动全球朝着一个更加公正、可持续和和平的世界迈进的组织。他们向池田先生，一位有远见的哲学家和和平建设者致以最诚挚和深切的慰问： 

ECI形容他是一位杰出而非常敏感的人。作为跨宗教对话、跨时代的坚定信仰者，他有着对支持和赋予年轻人力量的愿景和不懈的承诺。 

他们总结了他在1996年在哥伦比亚大学发表的关于“#全球公民# #地球市民# 教育思想”的演讲，并认为它是一部杰作（如下所述，只含一些重要观点）论点： 

“我（池田大作）可以自信地说，全球公民的基本要素包括以下几点： 

-感知所有生命相互联系的智慧。 

-不惧怕或否认差异，而是尊重并努力理解不同文化的人。 

-保持一种富有想象力的同情心，不仅延伸到自己的周围环境，而且延伸到远处受苦的人们。” 

成为更多，而不是拥有更多。 

作为地球宪章的特殊朋友和支持者，他在地球宪章的起草过程中做出了贡献，并在地球宪章序言中强调了“我们必须认识到，当基本需求得到满足时，人类发展主要是关于成为更多，而不是拥有更多”的核心思想。 

他们还感谢他为建设一个更加公正、可持续和和平的世界所付出的不懈努力和贡献。 

他们赞赏他怀着好奇心与来自世界各地的领袖进行对话。他每年提出的和平倡言提供了当今时代迫切需要的有影响力的建议。 

最后，愿他的灵魂安息。愿他种下的种子继续生长。愿他种植和呵护的花朵绽放，愿他的光芒继续闪耀。
