-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The mission of our student division members
is to be the forerunners for kosen-rufu.
Devote yourselves to your studies and train yourselves well.
May you each become the type of intellectual leader
who is endowed with a great character!

"Ultimately, all phenomena are contained within one's life, down to the last particle of dust. The nine mountains and the eight seas are encompassed in one's body, and the sun, moon, and myriad stars are found in one's life."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"The SGI abounds with rich encouragement that inspires individuals to awaken to their greatest potential and gain unwavering confidence, peace of mind, and hope. As SGI members, we have a philosophy that enables us to live our lives with the utmost pride and awareness of our true selves.
"When you encourage the future division members and talk about subjects such as the true nature of life, mission, or the path of mentor and disciple, they may not fully understand what you mean right then. However, your words plant the seeds for growth in their hearts, from which solid roots of faith will develop and take hold over time.
"More importantly, young members can sense and notice the earnestness with which you strive for the happiness of yourselves and others, and how courageously and joyfully you carry out activities for kosen-rufu.
"…Let's all encourage our precious future division members! Let's pour our hearts into raising these treasures, these young lions, with the conviction that this is the great path towards the eternal development and victory of kosen-rufu.
"The realm of Soka is the earth
from which capable people emerge.
Together, let's foster champions
of truth and justice
who stand tall like mighty trees."
