Welcome to SGI-USA Riverside. We are the Riverside
Region of SGI-USA. The SGI-USA is the American branch
of the SGI network, with more than 2,600 neighborhood
discussion groups and nearly 100 SGI-USA centers
throughout the country. The core activity for all SGI-USA
members is the neighborhood discussion meeting. These
informal gatherings bring people together for Buddhist
prayer, study, sharing and discussion of ways Buddhism
can be applied to the challenges of daily living.
SGI is based on the teachings and philosophy of
Nichiren Buddhism, which places the highest emphasis
on the sanctity of life. Members seek, through their
practice of Buddhism, to develop the ability to live
with confidence, to create value in any circumstance
and to contribute to the well-being of friends, family
and community.
Our philosophy is rooted in the concept of “human
revolution,” a process of inner transformation through
Buddhist practice. It is a process that leads us to
develop our character and to act not only for our
personal fulfillment but also for the betterment of society.
We believe that happiness is being able to experience
profound joy that comes from never being defeated by
any problem in life. In fact, we use life’s challenges as
catalysts to deepen and expand our inner lives. True
happiness results from our efforts to manifest our
highest potential — wisdom, compassion, courage
and vitality.
