Make it a globe that respects individuals rather than seeing groups as cohesive.

This is a big order. it can only be done by people becoming more of who they are, rather than who they were told they are.

Her is the way i chose to do that.

“Nothing exists from whose nature some effect does not follow” “We feel and experience ourselves to be eternal.”

Here is the view from the version of Buddhism taught by SGI. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the primary teaching. Nam(u) 南 無 Is the transliteration of the Indian words Nam of namaste. It has many meanings. Two of them are respect,and declaration of equality. Myoho-妙 法 Myo is the word for real, and not material. It is the un-manifested, the potential, the unknown, the limitless. Ho is the word for manifested, specific, known, physical-therefore limited. Renge-蓮 華 Renge is lotus flower. Flower, and seed occur at the same time-i.e. cause and effect are created at the same time. The lotus blooms in muddy water, and is pure when it is openes. So a person’s wisdom can be opened at any time, and not be sullied by the past. Kyo- 經 This is the Chinese translation of the word sutra. Sutras were originally only spoken. The delivered meaning of sutra therefore includes speech, vibration. The Chinese word means the warp in cloth, and indicates that there is a continuation within change, a persistence, while events remain variable.
