INTRODUCTION TO MEETING

Discussion meetings are cornerstone of Soka Gakkai practise as it

brings in all members together to understand and share key tenets
(Faith, Practise & Study) of the philosophy amongst themselves.
Welcome all to the another lively Feb19 discussion meeting.
This meeting give opportunity to share the practise with friends hence
I would request member who have (Chetan, Pranjal, Shashi) to this
meeting to introduce their guest and further would urge the guest to
say few words about themselves and what they know about the
practise.
(As a brief all members are leaders within their own right who are
further ably supported by senior leaders who have been in the practise
for a while.
Thank you, all our esteemed guests, to take out your value time to be
amongst us and would urge you to share or ask anything you would
like to seek about the philosophy).
With this I would commence our today meeting by sharing
important dates:
February 4: 1961 – Marked as Indian Kosen Rufu day. Daisaku Ikeda
travels to Bodh Gaya in India to mark the first step of Kosen-rofu in
Asia
February 11: 1900 Josei Toda's Birthday (1900)
February 16: 1222 Nichiren Daishonin (the originator of the
philosophy) was born in Awa province Japan
This month has a special significance for Bharat Soka Gakkai as:

In February 1961, Daisaku Ikeda, the young and newly inaugurated

third president of the organization, visited Bodh Gaya, the place
where Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, is said to have attained
enlightenment some 2,500 years ago. During the visit, Ikeda and his
party buried a plaque there on which he had inscribed a vow to help
actualize the peace and prosperity of Asia.
