I love the video. My son Daniel was there and said it was phenomenal. As for the little bugger with the rude comments...Buddhism isnt a cult silly it has been around a VERY long time. Blessings to all! Nam Myoho Renge Kyo!

[toanpl]

how i love this!!!!

[J7storm]

"The door to this wisdom is difficult to understand and difficult to enter. Not one of the voice-hearers or pratyekabuddhas is able to comprehend it." -Buddha.

I'll suggest that anyone unfamiliar with the Lotus Sutras should avoid appearing ignorant by posting adverse comments about the SGI practice or Sensei. When you know more, you might better understand the mission. World peace through individual happiness is what this is all about. Seek to understand and to some degree you will.

OK maybe you can't write jesus christ son of god. It takes a special cowardice

to cower before thought.

[MrFreddyb2000]

i was there, i played in th brass band!, you could feel the drummers beat through your whole body!, simply amazing! we shook the earth!!!!

[ITOGURUMusic]

2:12　素晴らしい！！！

[Shikishinfuni]

@worldmanandgods, I do wish you would do some research before you go around slandering people. President Ikeda has done more for world peace and the advancement of humanism than I can enumerate. Your insistence that we are a "cult" and a bunch of frauds is nothing more than the perpetuation of the lies and propaganda of certain politically motivated groups and individuals.

[worldmanandgods]

by the way peace yoe!

[mae14phoenix]

@worldmanandgods i can't believed there are persons still having little amount of understanding what life is all about.be fair..leaved the SGI members or leaders alone.just believed what u believed be open minded 2 everything and that's the time u r open 2 d possibilities that any1 from ur frnds or relatives can be 1 of the SGI.no 1 can save u but jz urself alone.no need 2 debate or whatever bad words.8 jz causes u addt'l bad karma of ur's.let's be FAIR. t.y

[worldmanandgods]

tel your master go arab nation ask for peace and stop the war and fuse nuclear station in japan. bet ya he never show his butt ask your master tomake peace to osama and whole terrorism group to stop terror world. you say your sgi do deeds hey lad go there and tel all sgi fuse the nuclearim waitin you... hey wake up!!

[worldmanandgods]

hey people da na suchz ai religion and this group ai fake! and fruada! ha! and all they want is money from you people" even in japan thisgroup is fruad wake up

and open up your mind peopleits like a ecstasy as you pray for the paper and chant forthat..give u a feeling of happiness love & energy

feeling extrime' its so called ecstasy!

poor people the real buddhism from tibet not sgi its up to you be a retard for this cult group! pray for real gods

[ellojellofly]

@worldmanandgods are you kidding me? we don't ask for money from anyone and we are commited to world peace and the abolishment of nuclear weapons. our goal is strength to overcome obstacles and discover true happiness. why does that bother you?

[worldmanandgods]

cult group!

[museprodigy]

@worldmanandgods tits or gtfo

[ivorygoldocean]

@worldmanandgods its not a cult

[mae14phoenix]

[J7storm]

This really got the event started off with a thunderous BANG! If your computer doesn't have GREAT speakers you're only getting a small part of the effect. It felt and sounded like thunder, then a freight train. To feel the effect, CRANK IT UP! Great Taiko experience!

Seeing this is well worth the time it took for us (Soka group) to set up and break down the set. You guys rocked!

[Jerseysson27]

Anyone got the video of the youth divison chorus singing if your out there?

[cellolvr27]

@Jerseysson27 I posted one of the last rehearsal in NY

[Jerseysson27]

President Kennedy’s Remarks on the subject of “The new frontier”

“It refers instead to this nations place in history, for the fact that we do stand on the edge of a great new era, filled with both crisis and opportunity. An era to be characterized by achievement and by challenge, it is an era which calls for action and for the best efforts of all those who would test the unknown and the uncertain in every phase in human Endeavour, it is a time for pathfinders and pioneers.”

[DrewZart]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! I was apart of the set up and take down movement. Awesome!!

[widowspider]

@dramaticsurgeon Great job with chorus, you guys were great, had great energy.

[RETURNTORUN]

@DeSpecial

Thanks for praising the Chorus group.

We did our best to keep the audience entertained, and the Byakuren did an awesome job in making sure we had enough water to prevent from cracking voices.

The festival was awesome, it was incredible experience to participate in. I had goosebumps before I even had to start singing. xD

[Jerseysson27]

@RETURNTORUN Thank you to all, you all really brought hope to everyone! We all had a small role, but in our way we created a mighty chord for change!
