【神でも、神以外でもない】トインビー×池田大作が見た"究極の実在"

"What is ultimate reality?" This is a fundamental question that humanity has grappled with since ancient times. Approximately half a century ago, two individuals tackled this grand question: the British historian Arnold Toynbee and the Japanese religious leader Daisaku Ikeda. The debate between these "spiritual giants of East and West," representing contrasting perspectives—Western scientific intellect and Eastern Buddhism—was compiled into a book, *Dialogue for the 21st Century*, which has been translated into 31 languages ​​and continues to be read worldwide. The conclusion they reached regarding "ultimate reality" at the end of their dialogue was the extremely complex expression: "Neither God nor anything other than God." What is the true meaning behind these seemingly contradictory words? This video, based on a paper by Yutaka Ishigami of the Institute of Oriental Philosophy, will unravel the profound interplay of ideas hidden behind the superficial words. 00:00 What is "Ultimate Reality"? 01:13 Chapter 1: Toynbee's View of Religion 02:33 Chapter 2: Giants of East and West Discuss "Life" and "Universal Religion" 06:52 Chapter 3: The True Nature of "Ultimate Reality" 08:45 Chapter 4: Neither God Nor Anything Else 12:19 Summary: Hints for the Modern Age Revealed by Dialogue 📙Reference "Toynbee's Theory of Religion and 'Dialogue for the 21st Century' - A Dialogue Between Eastern and Western Spirits on 'Ultimate Reality'" Yutaka Ishigami (Institute of Oriental Philosophy) #Recommended #Experience #Religion #SokaGakkai #SGI #DaisakuIkeda
