PEACE SYMPOSIUMS
We all seek peace, in society and in our personal lives but barriers that exist between people and nations make it seem elusive. Ikeda, however, believes otherwise. “Peace is not some abstract concept,” he says. “It is a question of how each one of us plants and cultivates the seeds of peace in the reality of daily living, in the depths of our being.”
EDUCATION DIVISION
Since 1992, The Education Division has been active in imparting encouragement and direction to all educators in BSG. Through various activities like organizing workshops and related events in schools and academic institutions, Education Division is emphasizing the importance of humanistic education.
BSG EXHIBITIONS
BSG is active in public education with a focus on peace, human rights and sustainable education. In order to raise awareness on such issues and to foster interconnectedness, BSG organizes exhibitions that tour the country reaching out to students, academicians , artists and others, highlighting a common humanity and the power that even one individual has the power to affect change.
HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES
Towards Humanitarian Relief Supporting SGI’s humanistic movement, BSG members have actively organised financial assistance and emergency relief in India to help the victims of natural disasters. The primary objective of these activities is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity.
WORDS OF WISDOM
“If you lose today, win tomorrow. In this never-ending spirit of challenge is found the heart of a victor.”
SOKA BODHI TREE GARDEN
Soka Bodhi Tree Garden was envisaged by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda as a centre for exchange of friendship and a training ground through peace, culture & education activities. In the inaugural message, President Ikeda said, “I am positive that from among those who will come to visit this garden in the future… there will emerge great leaders. It will be a place where leaders from various fields around the world will come to meet in order to cultivate and develop themselves, inspiring and stimulating each other’s growth.”
