The SGM Hope Fife-and-Drum Corps held its 7th General Meeting from 2–4 January at the SGM Culture Centre, bringing together 260 Angels of Peace from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Perak, Penang, Kedah and Pahang. The gathering also commemorated the 44th anniversary of the corps’ establishment and served as a meaningful platform for learning, exchange and strengthening the spirit of “many in body, one in mind.”

On the second day, the Angels of Peace presented an original dance piece titled “Where Dreams Meet the Heart”. Centred on the concepts of dreams, hope and courage, the performance showcased the members’ creativity and unity, reaching an audience of some 1,900 people on-site and online.

On the final day, participants studied the spirit of Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound –who responds to challenges with both gentleness and unshakeable strength. They were encouraged to speak up courageously at crucial moments and inspire others through compassionate, value-creating action.

The Angels of Peace members resolved to manifest their faith through action, embracing future challenges as they advance towards the Soka Gakkai’s centennial in 2030.
