10 - Soka (Value Creative) Education - How it relates to individual and societal happiness

It's my honour to talk to Dr. Paul Sherman about the many dimensions of Soka education i.e. What is it? Who is Tsunesaburo Makiguchi? How did Soka education start? What is its objective and how did it get to Canada? Also, how did Paul turn a tough career situation into a dream job of creating value?As Daisaku Ikeda explains: "The starting point and essence of Soka (value-creating) education is the spirit to treasure each student's individuality so that they can become happy and enjoy a glorious future. Education does not exist for the sake of the nation, for business, or for religion. The aim of Soka education is the happiness of oneself and others, as well as society as a whole, and peace for all humanity." https://www.daisakuikeda.org/main/edu...For more information about Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Value Creating Education visit: https://www.tmakiguchi.orgFor more information about Nichiren Buddhism as practiced in the SGI visit: https://www.sokaglobal.orgFor podcasts and content with a youthful, contemporary spirit, please visit: https://buddhability.org#sokagakkai #nichirenbuddhism #education #educationmatters #buddhism #buddhismandlife #buddhismforbeginners
