Small
group meetings are the foundation of the peace movement of SGI
Australia. They are found in local areas and held in people’s
homes. They are the home base for every single member to be
actively involved in practicing faith, human revolution and
building a peaceful community, The causes made by engaging in the
challenge of dialogue based on a profound philosophy and
encouraging one another through various struggles to become happy
may seem a painstakingly slow way to create peace. However, without
the group discussion, people would only have the opportunity to
listen to theory and perhaps not be supported through applying it
in their lives. A young man once told first Soka Gakkai President
Tsunesaburo Makiguchi that he thought it would be better to hold
large-scale lectures than discussion meetings. “No, it wouldn’t,”
Mr Makiguchi replied without hesitation. “Dialogue is the only way
to communicate with another about life’s problems. At a lecture,
listeners inevitably feel uninvolved. Even the Daishonin’s treatise
On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the
Land was written in the form of a dialogue, you know.” (SGI NL
