"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way. "

"Walt Whitman (1819–92), poet of the American Renaissance, once said to a young friend: 'I try and try and try again, and then try all over if necessary, until the approvable result is secured.'[1]
"We of the Soka family, upholding the vow for kosen-rufu, continue to challenge ourselves dauntlessly day after day, while warmly supporting and encouraging one another.
"I hope that our youth division members, as well as our men's and women's division members, will all join together with bright energy and cheer to enact a joyous drama of youthful challenge as Bodhisattvas of the Earth."
