| Research Abstract |
Based on research conducted over the past six years, this research tried to resolve how Soka Gakkai International (SGI) has been accepted in the United States, a largely Christian society comprising people of many different racial and social backgrounds, focusing on the SGI-USA's history of propagation, its members' conversion process, and the impact of the concepts of Nichiren among new believers, with reference to the American ethos.
