Culture Department

Jul 06, 2018 - Jul 09, 2018

Our 2018 Culture Department Conference will focus on each member advancing joyfully, deepening their relationship with Sensei, and having an absolute breakthrough in their lives. In attendance, will be our SGI-USA, WD Leader Akemi Bailey-Haynie.

Jul 06 - Jul 09

What is the focus of this conference?

Our theme is: “CONVICTION, PEACE AND YOUTH: Brilliantly Achieving 50,000 Lions of Justice"

Culture Department attendees can look forward to deepening their understanding of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, and through studying President Ikeda's guidance, learn how to win in their daily lives, professionally, personally and organizationally. As “Humanistic Leaders, Overflowing with Faith and Intellect”, we will learn how to fulfill each of our unique missions in society, helping in the construction of a peaceful and secure land. And, working hard together with Sensei, in eternalizing the SGI, we will emerge with the vow to contribute to the prosperity of the land.

“Today, people the world over are searching for a path that supports humanistic values, human rights and peace. Calling forth ever-greater numbers of young Boddhisattvas of the Earth, let us continue to forge ahead bravely on this path of brilliant achievement we have chosen.”

(January 12, 2018 World Tribune, p. 3)
