| Buddhism in Action--SGI Members Contributing to Society |
The teachings of Buddhism enable the individual to undergo a process of "human revolution," an inner change which stimulates compassion and contributive action in their family, workplace or community. This engagement with society is expressed in a variety of ways, reflecting the unique culture and traditions of different countries around the world. SGI members recount their experiences of putting their faith into action. The articles in this section are originally published in the SGI Quarterly magazine or other SGI publications.
