24 August marks both the anniversary of President Ikeda taking up faith and Men’s Division Day.

SGM men’s division leader Dr Christopher Boey delivered congratulatory remarks, urging all men’s division members to keep their determination to serve others and promote Nichiren Buddhism. Dr Boey also called on the members to create the greatest value, even during challenging times. On the actual day, he attended a commemorative meeting at the Mentor and Disciple Peace Hall in Wisma Kebudayaan SGM.

On 24 August, SGM Penang held the men’s division general meetings at its culture centres, while SGM Johor held theirs on 24–25 August. In Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, the men’s division members actively engaged in dialogues throughout the month.

Through these meetings, men’s division members deepened their resolve as the golden pillars of kosen-rufu, determined to create the highest value for both Buddhism and their personal lives.
