Intro To Soka Gakkai International - Pt 1 In 1975, in response to the needs of an increasing international membership, the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) was founded. Today SGI is a worldwide network of more than 12 million members in 190 countries and territories sharing a common vision for a better world. The roots of its institutional history are found in the development of the Soka Gakkai (Society for the Creation of Value) in Japan. The Soka Gakkai's seventy-year history is one of dramatic growth and challenge and one that was built by its successive presidents together with the people who were motivated by their spirit and dedication. It was conceived in 1930 as the Soka Kyoiku Gakkai [1], a small society of educators. Its founders, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and his protege Josei Toda (1900-1958), were inspired by Nichiren Buddhism and dedicated to educational reform. In a two-volume work published in 1930-31, Makiguchi set down the framework and principles of Soka education. He emphasized developing the learner's capacity for critical thinking over rote learning, and self-motivation over blind obedience. It was revolutionary thinking for the Japanese education system at that time. For the state, on the other hand, education like religion was a tool to deify the emperor as a living god and mobilize the nation for war. At meetings of the society, Makiguchi and Toda openly discussed the state's manipulation of religion. They warned of the disastrous turn towards war. In 1943, the state arrested members of the Society and imprisoned Makiguchi and Toda as "thought criminals." Makiguchi died there, to the end holding fast to his principles and beliefs. Amidst the ashes and chaos of postwar Japan, Toda was released finally and the Soka Gakkai [2] was reborn. Toda expanded the organization's range of vision from education to the betterment of society as a whole. He promoted the practice of Buddhism as an accessible means of rebuilding lives and overcoming obstacles to happiness. Toda passed away in 1958 and Daisaku Ikeda became president of the Soka Gakkai in 1960 at the age of 32. Under his leadership, the organization continued to grow and broaden its focus to embrace activities in the fields of peace, culture and education. At the same time, the membership outside of Japan is growing. To serve the needs of the international membership and to expand its commitment to the welfare of humanity on a global scale, the SGI was founded in 1975. Today, members of the SGI strive to contribute to their respective societies as responsible citizens cherishing the global vision of a peaceful world. Footnotes: 1. Soka Kyoiku Gakkai literally stands for Society for Value-creating Education. 2. Josei Toda changed the name to Soka Gakkai after WWII Tags: Buddhism Nichiren Daishonin Soka Gakkai International Tsunesaburo Makiguchi Josei Toda Daisaku Ikeda World Peace |

Tsunami Hits Thailand & South East Asia! Dedicated to all 2004 December 26th Boxing Day Tsunami Victims, those injured, and those otherwise affected. The terrible devastation and the aftermath of this catastrophe cuaght on tape. Sri Lanka and Thailand were severely impacted by the tsunami on December 26, 2004. Tsunami Thailand 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) December 26, 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. Surprisingly, some islands right in the middle of the tsunami were not badly affected. It turns out their atolls, or coral reefs, absorbed much of the wave. The coral ridges protected them. In many regions of the Asian waters, there is a practice some fishermen use, of dynamiting the natural coral reefs to bring up fish. These barriers to the tsunami were no longer in place to deflect the water. The disaster promoted a global outpouring of sympathy, with governments, individuals and corporations pledging more than $13 billion in aid. According to UN database, nearly two years after donors pledged billions to help the victims only half the money had been spent. Of the half a million people left homeless by the disaster, only a third have been permanently rehoused. The public response to the tsunami was very untypical. A combination of events - the dramatic nature of the huge wave, its occurrence at Christmas, the size of the disaster, the fact that so many Westerners died, the availability of spectacular video footage and the extensive TV coverage that secured - meant that the global public gave far more than ever before. The money went to aid agencies that were too small to mastermind such a mammoth task. Oxfam has spent more than $280 million on disaster recovery work and is now more than three-quarters of the way through its response plan. Aid workers have helped more than 2.3 million people across seven countries to get back into their homes.Despite the outpouring of generosity from aid agencies and individuals, recipient countries say pledges by some governments have still not been honoured. The earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing more than 225,000 people in eleven countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters With a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.5 inches) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska. The disaster is known by the scientific community as the Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake,and is also known as the Asian Tsunami and the Boxing Day Tsunami. Thailand: 5,395 dead, 2,993 missing. Many of the missing are presumed dead. Maldives: 82 dead, 26 missing. The latest disater to hit Asia, Cyclone Nargis struck May 2008, bringing winds of up 120mph and flooding to the badly affected Irrawaddy Delta region, Burma Myanmar. The cyclone had left twice as many people vulnerable as the 2004 Asian tsunami. Tags: Tsunami Thailand Wave Destruction Video Footage South East Asia 海啸 Sri Lanka Christmas Boxing day |

Tsunami It is almost two years since I have uploaded this video. The outpouring messages that you guys have sent me have been very encouraging. Please keep them coming. To answer some of your frequently asked questions: 1) I did not take the video. I have downloaded the clip days after the tsunami hit, and when I realised it is not on YouTube, I decided to put it here for the world to see 2) The video is shot at Sunset Bay, by local Thais. It is evident from the recorded voices. Not sure what they are saying though - if there is someone whom knew, please let me know 3) I can't recall where I downloaded the clip from, so I can't show proper copyright attribution on this page. If anyone knows about this, please message me. I don't hold the copyright for this video, so you can use (or don't use) the clip at your own discretion 4) I am tired of all the racist and insulting comments some of you viewers left on this video. It offends many, it irritates me, it does no one any good. So I am deactivating all comments on this page. If you want to comment on this video, please visit this page - http://www.razlan.name/blog/2007/12/tsunami-2004/ Please note that all comments are heavily moderated, and I won't allow any nonsense to be posted.
