For Our Wonderful New Members

" One' s own happiness exclusive of others is not true happiness. We cannot be happy while others suffer. Seeking happiness for oneself and others is genuine happiness. The original purpose of Buddhism and the profound wish of the Buddha is to help the suffering and enable as many people as possible to become happy." - Daisaku Ikeda In these lectures dedicated to new SGI members, SGI President Ikeda delves into five core themes of Nichiren Buddhism: 1. The Oneness of Mentor and Disciple 2. Happiness for Self and Others 3. Courageous Faith 4. A Solidarity of Good Friends 5. Religious Revolution
