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.

This is the idea that the self-motivated inner change of a single individual positively affects the larger web of life and results in the rejuvenation of human society.
