Everyone is eagerly awaiting a fresh new young power for this era.
Young people, bring forth even more young people,
one after another, and create a fresh new current!
We are the ever youthful SGI.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Continue your practice without backsliding until the final moment of your life, and when that time comes, behold! When you climb the mountain of perfect enlightenment and gaze around you in all directions, then to your amazement you will see that the entire realm of phenomena is the Land of Tranquil Light. The ground will be of lapis lazuli, and the eight paths will be set apart by golden ropes. Four kinds of flowers will fall from the heavens, and music will resound in the air. All Buddhas and bodhisattvas will be present in complete joy, caressed by the breezes of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity. The time is fast approaching when we too will count
ourselves among their number."

(The Fourteen Slanders - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 761)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Why is the Soka Gakkai so strongly united? Because its members persevere in making efforts to have dialogue and exert themselves wholeheartedly for kosen-rufu. When it comes to organisational unity or harmony among humankind, the basic principle is the same.

"It's important to consistently meet with others and have dialogue, creating heart-to-heart bonds--not based on our social position or title, but based on our shared humanity. It is through continuously taking such steadfast actions that genuine solidarity is born.

"In our respective communities, too, our members have sincerely continued their efforts for dialogue, undeterred by even the most daunting walls of distrust. This is why we have been able to spread the Mystic Law across the globe."
