This paper is based on Ng’s master’s thesis,“Soka Gakkai in Hong Kong:localizing aJapanese New Religion in a Chinese Community”completed during his study in the ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong from 2009 to 2011. It includes scholarly ideas and responses to thesubject matter based on his presentations at the conferences by Asian Studies Association of HongKong (ASAHK) 2011, Asian Conference on Cultural Studies (ACCS) Osaka 2011, and AsianStudies Conference Japan (ASCJ) Tokyo 2010. This paper studies the localization of SokaGakkai (SG) in Hong Kong in terms of its development,practices and teachings. Although SGis an extensively studied topic, its operation in Hong Kong is little-discussed. Ng attempts toanswer two issues:(1)how has SG developed in Hong Kong,and (2)to what extent has SG beenlocalized in terms of practices and teachings. He also hopes that this little piece can fill a gapin the research on SG movement. In addition, Ng owes this publication opportunity to theSpecial Committee of Publication, and Prof. Sakurai Yoshihide.
