Soka Gakkai International
The 14 million members of Soka Gakkai International (SGI - www.sgi.org ) around the world embrace Nichiren Buddhism, a dynamic philosophy grounded in the realities of daily life, seeking to promote the values of peace, culture and education.

For today and tomorrow
- UntitledWe need to cultivate a state of life where we can thoroughly enjoy ourselves at all times. We should have such joy that even at the time of death we can declare with a happy smile: "That was wonderful! Where shall I go next?" This is the state of mind of a person with strong faith. Such individuals will be reborn without delay and in a form and in a place exactly according with their desires. Faith enables us to attain the kind of generous and all-embracing state of mind where we can enjoy everything in our lives.
