Greater Connecticut Area Culture Department Friendship Meeting
Saturday, October 9th | 1:00 to 3:00 pm
at the home of Phyllis Green | 78 Carson Road, Wethersfield CT
Find out about the impact of Buddhism in the areas of academia, education, healing arts and the legal profession.
We welcome SGI-USA members and guests who either work in or are students in the fields noted above.
Note: general members who have a guest[s] are welcome to attend as well.
What is the mission of the SGI-USA Culture Department?
• To show actual proof as invaluable individuals in our respective professions and thereby gain trust and respect in our communities and American society.
• To advance side by side in harmony with fellow SGI members as we strive to study Buddhism more deeply, protect the Mystic Law, and to introduce the wisdom and humanism of Buddhism, the SGI and President Ikeda into society.
• Together with our mentor, encounter as many people as possible, engaging in warmhearted dialogue that creates heart-to-heart bonds, thereby leading to a greater expansion of the humanistic values of Nichiren Buddhism.
• Provide encouragement in faith that enables Culture Department members and youthful successors of the Culture Department to solidify the mentor disciple relationship and discover and fulfill their unique mission in society.
Invited Guests: We have invited two SGI-USA CD leaders to join our panel, Wanda E. Flowers, National Legal Depart. Dir., and Marionette Patterson, North Zone CD Dir.
