I am a "Men's Division Leader" for the Soka Gakkai in Chicago. I study and teach Nichiren's Buddhism - a humanistic deity free philosophical practice.

The Soka Gakkai exists to promote the concept that world peace can be attained through the "human revolution" of each member. All humans already have the Buddha nature within them. All we have to do is polish that Buddha nature so as to find ourselves (enlightenment) and change ourselves and our environment.
