Background

The publication is owned and operated by the Japanese Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai and features news articles about the activities of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) members, guidance from the founding President of SGI, Daisaku Ikeda, and mainstream news from around Japan and abroad.
