This exhibition is about the life and work of three extraordinary men, from ordinary backgrounds, whose lives embrace three centuries. Although from different religious and cultural traditions, they share the belief that violence and war ultimately solve nothing, and that through the process of inner transformation an individual has the power to change society, the environment and the planet itself. It is hoped viewers will find these lofty ideals and principles easily within the grasp of their own daily existence. For it is within the mundane realm of daily living that Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Daisaku Ikeda have sought to forge an existence filled with dignity, freedom and happiness for all people.
