Purpose
The Soka Gakkai International Buddhist Club (SGI-BC) serves as the place for the students who want to study Nichiren Buddhism and learn the philosophy of Buddhist philosopher, peacebuilder, educator, and writer, Daisaku Ikeda, who has received 409 academic honors as of 2024. The fundamental purpose of the SGI-BC is to help students unlock their hidden potential and achieve creative harmony with their environment through the philosophy and practice of Nichiren Buddhism in the SGI-USA. This is the ultimate expression of individual empowerment where each student can transform the inevitable challenges of daily life into sources of growth and fulfillment and become a positive influence in his or her school, workplace, family and community. By promoting and understanding of how Nichiren Buddhism can be applied to the challenges of modern living, our activities contribute to the development of peace, culture, and education within society, inspire respect for cultural diversity and human rights, and encourage the protection of nature and the environment.
