Comment by Linda on April 18, 2008 at 9:14am: Hi everyone...glad to meet you! I am a paralegal and I am also a yoga teacher...hmmmm legal and healing arts? Does that go well with tea?

Comment by erika on April 8, 2008 at 1:48am: Sapna,
I love that idea! It could be very inspiring.
and Julie, I'm also a massage therapist!

Comment by Sapna Batish on April 7, 2008 at 10:53am: Please let me know if you'd like to add thoughts/signatures to a letter I am planning to send to Danny Nagashima and President Ikeda about a global SGI video program. We show President Ikeda's videos at our Peace Prayer Meetings. He often introduces members from around the world. We now practice in 190 (?) countries. I would love to see footage of their activities/Buddhist practice/lives. So I am proposing that the SGI
create short videos/films of members lives and Buddhist activities from around the world. They can be shown on the SGI website as well as at Kosen Rufu Gongyo and district meetings. President Ikeda takes such pride in the fact that the SGI is such a global community. The films would be a wonderful way for us to feel connected to the SGI from around the world and a great thing for guests to see when we bring them to meetings. I would love to get your thoughts on the above as well as ideas about artistic aspects of the films and how we could get the footage. Because I'd like this to be an ongoing program and not a one-time film, I'd love your suggestions on how to accomplish this in the simplest and most effective way.

Comment by Sapna Batish on March 31, 2008 at 8:47am: Totally with you on Buddhists supporting peace and culture in Tibet through
Daimoku and any other ideas that folks have

Comment by Jennifer Lane on March 29, 2008 at 10:24pm: Glad to see this. How can Buddhists come together to support the Tibetans and the dialogue so needed with China? How can we in the SGI help?
