"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...."

----I'm all for it. The more communication the better, though I can see that the members at small meetings taped or photographed should probably have a joint say in what is sent out...
Also, you wouldn't want it to get in the way of the meeting.

I'm reading "Hegemony or Survival- amerika's Quest for Global Dominance", by Chomsky. It's got some eye-opening (but stomach-turning) info, to be sure! (The spelling "correction" is my own....).
--It gets me fired up to chant, though!; that's obviously got to be part of the solution!

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.
