Members around the World Celebrate 90th Anniversary

The Seikyo Shimbun has continued to report on meetings held around the world during the month of November to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Soka Gakkai’s founding on November 18, 1930. The Soka Gakkai in Nicaragua held a face-to-face meeting for the first time in eight months. Online meetings were also held in Hungary, Norway, Mexico, Chile and Venezuela, where the meeting featured a performance by members of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. Soka Gakkai Italy broadcast a meeting on YouTube that included a video message from Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, and SGI-Australia held an online meeting with a message from Stuart Rees, professor emeritus at the University of Sydney, who published a dialogue with Daisaku Ikeda in 2018.
