What was raised in that work was to generate a teaching system that emphasized as a vital goal to create value, with happiness being the main purpose of Education.<\/p>\n<p>This should make it easier for students to have happy lives contributing to their communities, maintaining a harmonious relationship with others in their environment.<\/p>\n<p>Makiguchi found in the Buddhist philosophy of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sgi-es.org\/budismo\/nichiren-daishonin\/biografia-de-nichiren-daishonin\/\">Nichiren Daishonin<\/a>(1222-1282) a good basis for developing his educational system.\u00a0Nichiren raised a Buddhism linked to everyday problems, not a monastic life separated from society.\u00a0He affirmed that each person has the potential to face the challenges that are presented in a creative way every day, generating value and positively influencing their community.<\/p>\n<p>His work was continued by Josei Toda, who developed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sgi-es.org\/\">Soka Gakkai<\/a>association\u00a0, work with which\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sgi-es.org\/soka-gakkai\/los-3-presidentes\/daisaku-ikeda\/\">Daisaku Ikeda<\/a>\u00a0, current president,\u00a0continued\u00a0, who gives the organization a strong international sense, very involved in facilitating dialogues around peace by creating, in addition, what we know today as the Soka education system.<\/p>\n<h4>From children to university<\/h4>\n<p>This\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Soka_School_System\">educational system<\/a>\u00a0provides training from Early Childhood Education to university education, at Sapporo Children&#8217;s School, the Kansai campus in Osaka and Kyoto (Primary and Secondary Education) and two universities in Tokyo and in Aliso Viejo, in California.\u00a0In addition to these centers, there are currently nursery schools in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brazil and South Korea.<\/p>\n<h4>Foster a culture of peace<\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.soka.ed.jp\/english\/\">defining elements<\/a>\u00a0of these training centers consist of facilitating the exchange of experiences through dialogue, fostering a culture of peace and reflection on human rights;\u00a0raise awareness of the importance of coexisting with nature;\u00a0encourage language learning and reading;\u00a0facilitate intellectual development, following the idea that knowledge alone cannot generate value if it is not guided by wisdom, adding a sense of purpose, responsibility and desire to contribute to the welfare of humanity.\u00a0Finally, it seeks to generate meaningful and lasting friendship.<\/p>\n<p>In Soka Education, the development of teachers becomes very important, with the idea that if they do not grow, students will not.\u00a0One of the usual teaching practices is to review teachers&#8217; diaries about their own practice in meetings with classmates, focusing on experiences of failure.\u00a0For this they have created a \u201cnetwork of mutual encouragement\u201d in which teachers can support each other to learn to face adverse situations.<\/p>\n<p>A good example of his work philosophy is his idea that teachers are too busy.\u00a0In Japanese this is expressed with two ideograms that mean &#8220;heart&#8221; and &#8220;forget.&#8221;\u00a0The timeless teachers are the teachers who have forgotten their heart.<\/p>\n<p>Being busy makes it easy to forget the most important, emphasize the urgent and set aside the important.\u00a0Younger teachers suffer more because they do not share their experience with other teachers and cannot benefit from the experience of more experienced teachers.\u00a0Hence the importance of these monthly meetings of mutual encouragement, in which families are also invited, favoring dialogue between teachers and families.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the idea that the teacher works in two scenarios is encouraged: the classroom and the community.\u00a0This completes his work.\u00a0It is not enough to work in the classroom.<\/p>\n<h4>The Soka Institute in Madrid<\/h4>\n<p>In December 2018, the creation of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uah.es\/es\/conoce-la-uah\/organizacion-y-gobierno\/servicios-universitarios\/El-Instituto-Universitario-Mixto-de-Investigacion-en-Desarrollo-y-Educacion-Daisaku-Ikeda-IEDDAI\/\">the Daisaku Ikeda Joint Research Institute for Education and Development<\/a>\u00a0was approved by the governing council of the University of Alcal\u00e1\u00a0.\u00a0Its main objective is to investigate this educational methodology, connecting it with the contributions of other current trends such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/en-us\/The+Wiley+Blackwell+Handbook+of+Positive+Psychological+Interventions-p-9781119950561\">Positive Education<\/a>\u00a0;\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/en-us\/The+Heart+of+Higher+Education%3A+A+Call+to+Renewal-p-9780470487907\">contemplative turn<\/a>\u00a0, which is gradually spreading in higher education, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/1541344618774022\">transformational learning<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Students normally resist experimenting and being creative, accustomed as they are to being provided with clear rules and guidelines.\u00a0As a consequence, many of them are disoriented when they are asked to be autonomous and face the typical contradictions of any creative process.<\/p>\n<h4>Foster the whole class dialogue<\/h4>\n<p>In our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/329034673_Felicidad_y_Educacion_explorando_el_sentido_de_las_practicas_educativas_por_medio_de_la_creacion_de_valor?_sg=fsH-g9CmGxSGJ_1QvKagALWQU7-K7zHRLNa6YR-1n2cyLLTI8fTDiH7MrNxDa7-_ATECK-7_hb3veqOENBlCdhDB3CDXVG9mrD2Lp4M7.zyPCflQOyn_5EbxdXoxq2Xul62X7lugdBFF8mmE7zAFuzKaIjbSU4m0piJRmGuLNHlxC26TWQEKhAV3yYNMwdQ\">subject<\/a>\u00a0of Education for Happiness, possibly the only example of Soka education that can be found in Spain, we try to explore this way of understanding education: encouraging the whole class to dialogue.\u00a0We try to ensure that our students are able to talk with each other and with us, in a direction that is gradually emerging, reflecting on what inspires us daily and for this, generating spaces of inspiration by inviting professionals to share with us how they make sense of Your daily work.<\/p>\n<p>Also contributing to leave a legacy that links current students with previous and subsequent generations, being responsible for their contribution to the wider context in which they find themselves.<\/p>\n<p>In this event a student reflects on her experience in the subject, mentioning several aspects discussed so far:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em>How nice to see how minds working for the same goal can create so many things and so great. This has been another of the lessons of the subject: to create value, to change things, you have to start from yourself, but if this beginning from you is done with other people, with the same goal you can achieve wonderful things. The evolution of the group has been beautiful, see how strangers become partners who want to work with each other. When I am a teacher, I would like to see this same evolution with my own eyes, to see how my students have discovered that working together has enormous potential and that, for that reason, they want to work as a team, to do something better, something bigger<\/em> &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is society that is at the service of education, and not the other way around.\u00a0Education is not a business, it should not comply with instrumental objectives, but favor as far as possible an experience with meaning, where you can unfold your potential, but beyond an individual sense, foster your connection with your community.<\/p>\n<p>Education, taken seriously, is the only means we have as a society to adapt to change and the challenges we are generating.\u00a0And for this, we do our mission to investigate how Soka Education can contribute to it, in dialogue with other current educational disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Alejandro Iborra Cu\u00e9llar is a University Professor.
