The fundamental purpose of BGP is to help students unlock their potential to transform the inevitable challenges of daily life into sources of growth and fulfillment and become a positive influence in her or his school, workplace, family and community and achieve creative harmony with their environment through the philosophy and the practice of Nichiren Buddhism in the SGI-USA. By promoting an understanding of how Nichiren Buddhism can be applied to the challenges of modern living, our activities contribute to the development of peace, culture and education within society, inspire respect for cultural diversity and human rights and encourage the protection of nature and the environment.
We, as members of Buddhism for Global Peace, challenge ourselves to become global citizens who possess:
The wisdom to perceive the interconnectedness of all life and living.
The courage not to fear or deny difference; but to respect and strive to understand people of different cultures; and to grow from encounters with them.
The compassion to maintain an imaginative empathy that reaches beyond one's immediate surroundings and extends to those suffering in distant places. (Daisaku Ikeda, 1996)
Through our efforts to accomplish these aims, we wish to raise hope and help bring about peace in the Columbia University community and the World at large.
