-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's give an especially warm, heartfelt cheer to
all of our future and student division members
who are about to start new schools
or other institutes of learning.
As members of our Soka family,
let's offer them unsparing encouragement and
put all of our efforts into helping each
and every one of our young people to
become truly capable individuals for this new era!

"The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"People are able to tap great inner strength through recognising that someone believes in and holds high hopes for them."[1]
"We believe in the infinite potential of all human beings, strive to enable each individual to awaken to and reveal that potential, and work to expand the circle of those who share this commitment. This has been the history of the Soka people's movement to this day."[2]
