SGM Student Division Conducts Seminar in Perak

The SGM Student Division (SD) held its third northern region seminar at the SGM Perak Culture Centre from June 3 to 5, 2011 with 147 SD members from Penang, Kedah and Perak attending.

With the theme "This is the Time for Us to Rise Up", the students learned about SGI President Ikeda's thoughts, activities and expectations for young people in order to enhance the relationship with their mentor.

The main topic of study on the first day was centred on the unity of mentor and disciple.

Mr Tan talked on Nichiren Daishonin’s outlook on life

The study program for the second day was divided into two parts. The first part was focused on learning spirit in protecting and guarding the organisation. The second part was presented by SGM Study Department Leader, Tan Kok Leong who talked on Nichiren Daishonin's outlook on life. In view of increasing teenage suicides in the society, Mr Tan also urged the participants to learn and understand about death before other things.

The last day of the study meeting was centred on "Action" and "The Pledge" of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. The members of the SD determined to work hard with their mentor to bring good fortune to all people and build a Malaysia befitting "the role model of the oneness of mentor and disciple."
