A Culture of Dialogue Ikeda: Culture, and music in particular, has a mysterious power to cement person-to-person ties and nourish friendship between countries. You have written many books dealing with music. The following passage particularly impresses me. "Music is our oldest form of expression, older than language or art; it begins with the voice, and with our overwhelming need to reach out to others." Menuhin: Music is one of the very few fields in which there is no feuding or quarrels. Of course there may be antagonism or competition between individual artists. But the audience is united as one with the musician. Music binds and harmonizes the performers and the members of the audience. Ikeda: I understand your meaning. By nature Buddhism also unites people together; it is not something that creates divisions between them. You also state that music creates order out of chaos. I am confident that a new order of peace can be produced through the beautiful solidarity of ordinary people who love music. Menuhin: My feelings are the same.″1 --From a dialogue between Daisaku Ikeda and violin virtuoso Sir Yehudi Menuhin Jogen Chowdhury | 18.5 x 11 inch | mix media on paper | Sitar For sales related inquiry please email us on priyasriartgallery@gmail.com
