The Soka Spirit movement began in the SGI-USA to correctly identify the heart of Nichiren's teachings. Our goal is to
clarify the conviction and practice of the Soka Gakkai in contrast with the views and behavior of Nichiren Shoshu, in light
of Nichiren's teachings.
Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a Buddhist association with more than 12 million members
in 190 countries and territories worldwide. For SGI members, Buddhism is a practical philosophy of individual empowerment
and inner transformation that enables people to develop themselves and take responsibility for their lives.
As lay
believers and "engaged Buddhists," SGI members strive in their everyday lives to develop the ability to live with confidence,
to create value in any circumstances and to contribute to the well-being of friends, family and community. The promotion of
peace, culture and education is central to SGI's activities.

The purpose and significance of Buddhism lies in overcoming the four basic sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death,
as well as in enabling each individual to establish his or her own identity.
