Dengan PM WenJiaBao dalam mencetuskan hubungan baik antar negara
Diwakili anak nya menerima penghargaan dari Mantan Presiden Gus Dur di Wahid Institut
The WAHID Institute memberikan penghargaan pada Presiden Soka Gakkai International DR. Daisaku Ikeda, karena kontribusinya menciptakan perbaikan peradaban, pendidikan, dan perdamaian dunia. Penghargaan disampaikan oleh Direktur the WAHID Institute Yenny Wahid, di Kantor the WAHID Institute Jl. Taman Amir Hamzah No. 8 Matraman Jakarta, Senin, (14/07/2008).
Soka Gakkai
DR. Daisaku Ikeda sendiri berhalangan hadir. Karenanya, ia diwakili puteranya yang juga Wakil Presiden Soka Gakkai International, Hiromasa Ikeda. Presiden Republik Indonesia ke-4 KH. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) dan Ny. Shinta Nuriyah Abdurrahman Wahid turut menyaksikan pemberian penghargaan itu.
Dalam sambutannya, Yenny Wahid menyatakan, Ikeda telah memberikan sumbangan sangat berharga bagi kemanusiaan dan dialog antar peradaban, baik melalui karya maupun kiprah dan pengabdiannya. “Filosofi yang dianut Ikeda, adalah hal-hal yang juga kami anut di the WAHID Instiutute, yaitu penekanan pada dialog untuk memecahkan permasalahan antar peradaban,” katanya.
Bagi Yenny, tidak akan pernah ada perdamaian tanpa keadilan dan tidak akan pernah ada keadilan tanpa dialog yang sehat. “Inilah yang dilakukan Ikeda,” ujarnya.
Ikeda, bagi Yenny, adalah sosok yang mampu membentuk manusia berkarakter, manusia yang berlandaskan perdamaian dan manusia yang mengagungkan persahabatan. “Semoga hubungan dan persahataan kita ke depan akan memberikan kontribusi besar bagi dunia yang sedang dilanda berbagai permasalahan,” harapnya.
Dalam sambutannya, Gus Dur menekankan bangsa Indonesia untuk belajar pada Jepang, termasuk dalam bidang pembangunan ekonomi. “Kita harus bangkit dari keterpurukan ekonomi menjadi kekuatan yang luar biasa di tingkat internasional. Dan kita harus belajar dari Jepang,” harapnya.
Menurut Gus Dur, kalau saja RRT, India dan Indonesia mau belajar dari Jepang, maka dalam waktu tidak terlalu lama Asia akan menjadi pusatnya dunia. “Makanya kita perlu belajar dari Jepang, bagaimana mengembangkan pembangunan yang sehat bagi dunia ini,” tegasnya.
Menanggapi penghargaan ini, Hiromasa Ikeda mengungkapkan rasa terima kasihnya yang mendalam. “Ini penghargaan yang sangat mulia dari the WAHID Institute,” terangnya.
Hiromasa lantas menceritakan kiprah ayahnya dengan Gus Dur untuk menciptakan perdamaian dunia. Dikatakannya, ayahnya hidup dengan tradisi Buddha dan Gus Dur hidup dengan tradisi Islam. Tapi keduanya dapat menciptakan arahan baru bagi hubungan baik antar agama di dunia.
“Persahabatan antar ayah saya dengan Gus Dur betul-betul bisa menciptakan dialog yang sangat mulia dan hubungan yang baik. Walau berbeda, kita bisa bersama-sama menuju perdamaian,” ungkapnya.
Dialog, katanya, satu-satunya jalan untuk menyelesaikan persoalan dalam arti sesungguhnya. “Solusi yang abadi itu ya dialog,” terangnya. “Makanya dialog dan kelanjutannya harus dilaksanakan bersama untuk mewujudkan perdamaian dunia,” imbuhnya berpesan.
