How are the Society and Culture categories different?
The Society category covers peace, community, public good, and social issues, illuminating the social significance of Ikeda Daisaku (池田大作)'s peace philosophy and SGI activities. The Culture category covers books, arts, media, and cultural expressions including Hwagwang Shinmun (華光新聞). Both categories share the themes of human dignity and social engagement, but Society approaches structural and social dimensions while Culture addresses expressive and practical ones.
Core Topics in the Society Category
Society covers Ikeda Daisaku (池田大作)'s nuclear abolition proposals, the collaborative activities of Soka Gakkai (創価学会) and the United Nations, and the intersection of sustainable development goals (SDGs) with Buddhist philosophy. Community service activities of Korea SGI (韓國SGI) and their role in local communities are also covered in the Society category.
Core Topics in the Culture Category
Culture covers Buddhist art, Lotus Sutra (法華經) related cultural events, Korea SGI cultural programs, messages of Hwagwang Shinmun (華光新聞), and the cultural philosophy of Ikeda Daisaku (池田大作). Book, film, and music reviews are also included, examining culture in depth from a humanistic perspective.
