Soka Gakkai International UK

SGI is a broad humanistic movement for the benefit of the people of the world, engaging with other institutions, associations, groups and individuals who wish actively to create a better world. SGI-UK started with one person in 1960 and has grown steadily. There are now over 450 local groups through the UK. Local groups hold discussion meetings each month to which anyone can come. If you want to find out about the nearest group to you ring 01628 773163. Local groups hold introductory talks. In the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin there is a profound principle that `Buddhism equals daily life`. The highest state of life is to be found in our behaviour as human beings. The emphasis in practising Nichiren Daishonin`s Buddhism is to carry out a daily practice at home and to become involved in the nearest local group. You can find out more about who Nichiren Daishonin was and begin to understand his teachings from the materials on this site. On this site you can also find introductory and other study materials. SGI-UK publishes a monthly magazine, The Art of Living to which you can subscribe. The administrative centre supporting this network of local groups across the UK is based at one of SGI`s international culture centres at Taplow Court near Maidenhead to the west of London. In the UK there are two other centres: one in West London at Acton and one in South London at Brixton. The SGI organisations in all the European countries share a centre in the South of France where SGI-UK runs a number of courses for members each year. |
