It was 40 years ago today... It was on January 26, 1975, that Soka Gakkai International (SGI) was inaugurated at the First World Peace Conference on the island of Guam--the site of fierce fighting between American and Japanese military forces and of countless deaths of innocent civilians during World War II... In his speech on that occasion, Ikeda stressed that Buddhism is grounded in the philosophy of respecting the dignity of life and made a powerful declaration stating that he would dedicate his life to the endeavor of promoting a lasting peace. He also encouraged the members to live altruistically: Rather than seeking to bring your own lives to bloom, devote yourselves to planting the seeds of peace throughout the world.
