We are the Soka Gakkai International-USA (SGI-USA), an American Buddhist community that promotes peace through individual
happiness, based on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra within Nichiren Buddhism of the Mahayana Tradition.
The SGI-USA
is the American branch of the SGI worldwide network. Members seek, through their practice of Buddhism, to develop the ability to live with confidence, to create
value in any circumstance and to contribute to the well-being of friends, family and community.
True Joy In Life
WHAT IS TRUE JOY in
life?
This is a difficult question--and one that has occupied a great many thinkers and philosophers. Joy can quickly
give way to suffering. Joy is short and suffering long. Also what passes for joy in society is superficial. It cannot compare
with the joy deriving from the Mystic Law. The key then lies in cultivating a sate of mind where we can declare without reservation
that life itself is a joy. This is the purpose of our buddhist practice. _ Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist Philosopher
