Soka Gakkai International & Malaysia


Soka Gakkai International


The Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a worldwide network of lay Buddhists dedicated to a common vision of a better world through the empowerment of the individual and the promotion of peace, culture and education. It currently consists of 84 constituent organizations and has 12 million members in 192 countries and territories worldwide. The SGI was founded on January 26, 1975, but the movement has its roots in 1930s Japan and the struggle against the thought-control of the Japanese militarist government of the time. The Buddhism practiced by SGI members is based on the teachings of the 13th-century Japanese priest Nichiren and his interpretation of the Lotus Sutra.



Soka Gakkai Malaysia


Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM), whose members are located throughout the country, was established in 1984.
Members of SGM come from all walks of life. Gathering regularly at SGM’s centres and in one another’s homes throughout Malaysia, they study Buddhism and discuss how it can be applied to the challenges faced in their daily life. These gatherings, or discussion meetings as they are called in SGM, act as a platform where members can share their concerns and difficulties, their hopes and dreams.
For SGM members, the ultimate purpose of their Buddhist practice and involvement in SGI activities is to allow them to reveal the creative potential in their lives, not only for their personal fulfillment, but also for the development of a peaceful and harmonious society.
There are SGM culture centres in each of the SGM state branch. These centres including Wisma Kebudayaan SGM located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city centre which are physical manifestation of SGM’s commitment to peace were constructed through funds contributed by SGM members.
The centres serve as venues for a wide range of cultural and educational activities to promote peace, including art and photographic exhibitions, cultural performances, interfaith dialogues, public lectures and seminars. These activities are organised in pursuit of human happiness and security. Many of these are international events that promote cross-cultural exchange involving artists and scholars from different countries.
