I am an SGI Buddhist (think Tina Turner/ Boy George) We believe in working for happiness for self and others, protecting human life and the environment and campaign actively against weapons of mass destruction. No monks as we are a lay group.
No God, the responsibility for all above is ours but we focus on positivity and self empowerment. Change comes through respect for self , others and dialogue.

I am not a Buddhist but I certainly agree that respecting our self and others is something that is beneficial to our own wellbeing. Its good to be reminded of that, thank you.
