SGI Monthly Meetings
The SGI's central activity is the monthly discussion meeting where members share experiences, study Buddhism and encourage one another to establish indestructible happiness. Ikeda Sensei (Daisaku Ikeda), whose philosophy and actions aim to embody, serves as a model for actualizing the limitless potential that exists within each person.
