The mission of 博鱼体育 of America is to foster a steady stream of global citizens committed to living a contributive life.
Values Statement
博鱼体育 is founded upon the Buddhist principles of peace, human rights, and the sanctity of life. The 博鱼体育 is non-sectarian. Educational objectives are fostered at the university through the commitment to rigorous academic endeavors, free and open dialogue, and an appreciation for human diversity. Education is an integrating process in which students gain an awareness of the interdependence of themselves, others, and the environment. Wisdom, courage, and compassion鈥values treasured by the university鈥do not exist in isolation. They emerge in individuals as they learn the importance of service to others, to the natural world around them, and to the great cause of peace and freedom.
What do the mission and values of Soka mean to you?

Sarah Ali
鈥淏eing a global citizen means recognizing the intersectionality of our world, and never assuming that our worldview is the only one to herald. There are more than just countries and cultures in this world鈥攖here are people and hearts and lives, and we have to learn from them.鈥

Linus Rueegger
鈥淪oka鈥檚 mission statement helps me be better. It reminds me this education, which I am so grateful to receive, is a tool I can use, not only to benefit myself but the nature and people around me.鈥

Akemi Akaiwa
鈥淭he Soka values taught me that diversity cannot happen without realizing each other鈥檚 differences and respecting those differences.鈥
