These are the very thoughts that echo the philosophy of SGI-Gulf . SGI-Gulf believes that all individuals inherently possess the ability to create value in their lives and society and achieve harmony between themselves and their environment. Culture is an expression of this uniquely human potential and the cornerstone for its development.

Soka Gakkai therefore maintains that culture is a manifestation of human creativity and a medium that serves to help people appreciate the dignity of their lives. It is capable of linking the hearts of people throughout the world by imbuing life with richness and inspiration.

At the same time, SGI-Gulf understands that while Dubai as a progressive city identifies itself as a city of fusion between cultures, it is still not a melting point of cultures. While there is a peaceful co-existence between people of different nations, race & religion there is still a limited understanding and respect of different cultures. SGI-Gulf strives to promote the spirit of interaction and mutual respect.

Affiliate organizations of the SGI such as the Min-On Concert Association and the Institute of Orienha sital Philosophy , are engaged in various activities to promote exchange between peoples of diverse cultures and celebrate their diversity.
