Organizer
This event is organized by Soka Gakkai Malaysia,(SGM).
Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM)is a lay Buddhist organisation that actively promotes peace, culture and education through personal change and social contribution. Rooted in Nichiren’s life-affirming philosophy of humanism, compassion and respect for life, SGM activities are conducted with the shared understanding of the
inseparable linkages that exist between individual happiness and the
peace and development of the society. Through inner-directed
reformation, SGM members hope to contribute to the betterment of their
communities and build a society where people of diverse cultures and
faiths can live in peace.
Since its inception in 1984, SGM has conducted its activities with the following objectives as its guiding principles:
- To promote good values and morals among the members
- To contribute to the well-being and prosperity of the country

Contributing to Society
Every year SGM takes part in the National Day celebrations at both
Federal and State levels. SGM members have also performed at the opening
ceremonies of international and national games as well other
government-sponsored events.
Strengthening our Common Humanity
A society that values culture is a society that values human happiness - Daisaku Ikeda
SGM’s emphasis on cultural activities stems from the belief that
through direct interactions with people from different cultures, mutual
understanding is developed and our common humanity is strengthened.
Cultural activities are an important part of our search for common
values. Culture enriches the individual, while at the same time reaches
out to bring people together.
Cultivating Noble Values
SGM organizes public lectures at its culture centres.
Distinguished speakers from the academia, and the fields of culture and
arts deliver these lectures. The topics of these lectures include those
on peace, education, leadership and youth.
