Austin, TX -- Meredith Beal was invited to deliver a Buddhist invocation for the March 10, 2010 Austin City Council meeting on behalf of SGI-USA.

"May you summon from within yourselves the imagination, creativity and cooperation to find new ways to help more people and through your deliberations, may the vision emerge to navigate this fair city through the myriad challenges it faces now and in in the future," Beal urges the Council.

SGI-USA is a worldwide Buddhist organization promoting Buddhist humanism through peace, culture and education.
