The Soka Movement

A new departure for me as I am returned to Serangoon South Chapter to promote our Soka Movement there. It is time to get back to basics. What exactly is our Soka Movement? Sensei explained it in the NHR - Dance of Life:

Buddhism is an eternal and unchanging law that pervades human life and the entire universe. It is also the guiding principle for the realization of peace and happiness for humanity. As such, it in no way contradicts modern science. Rather, it is a philosophy that can lead science and technology in a direction that will contribute to people’s happiness and well-being.

The Soka movement aims for what we call human revolution, the inner transformation of the individual through the teaching of Buddhism. Society is made up of human beings; we are the creators of our reality. As a result, we believe that by cultivating our lives, our hearts, we can change society. The purpose of the Soka Gakkai is to enable people to forge their character on a fundamental level, thereby bringing the fragrant flowers of peace and culture to bloom. We emphasize the view that all things arise from the human heart, the human spirit.
