December 15, 2014, Lillian H. Smith Public Library, 239 College St. from 6:30 – 7:30pm…. Come join us
as we present ‘Success & Happiness’’ the next in a series of free introductory seminars on Nichiren
Buddhism. Each seminar will begin with a presentation and follow with an open Q & A.
The attainment of success, and ultimately happiness, not only drives our day to day but also allows for
us to provide for ourselves, our family and our friends. In the course of achieving our goals, negative
aspects of life such as greed, anger and jealousy can arise within and throw us off course. Nichiren
Buddhism affirms that everyone has the ability to peacefully, and prosperously, navigate the tides on
the path to success. Come learn concepts such as Happiness vs. Absolute Happiness, Human Revolution,
and Cause and Effect to help prepare yourself for your next adventure!
As explained by Daisaku Ikeda, president of the Soka Gakkai International, “What is defeat in life? It is
not merely making a mistake; defeat means giving up on yourself in the midst of difficulty. What is true
success in life? True success means winning in the battle with yourself. Those who persist in the pursuit
of their dreams, no matter what the hurdles, are winners in life, for they have won over their
weaknesses.”
Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a lay Buddhist movement linking more than 12 million people around
the world. SGI practitioners aim to create value in any circumstances and contribute to the well-being
of others. Their practice sparks a process of ongoing inner transformation and empowerment known as
“human revolution.” The promotion of peace, culture and education is central to SGI’s activities.
