"Let us foster people and help them develop their potential for the sake of the future! Let us create capable individuals and send them out into society! Eternal light emanates from efforts to nurture people's growth.
"The Uruguayan author José Enrique Rodó (1871–1917) declared: 'A young mind is hospitable soil in which the seed of a single timely word will quickly yield immortal fruit.' [1]
In fostering the future division members, we of the SGI impart timely, sincere encouragement to the soil of young minds. We sow the seeds of hope, self-improvement, and courage, and nurture the fruit of happiness and victory.
"'The voice carries out the work of the Buddha' (OTT, 4), cites Nichiren Daishonin. Each word of encouragement we give to these young people—successors to the mission of eternally transmitting the Mystic Law—is an action of unsurpassed power that 'carries out the work of the Buddha.'
SGI Newsletter No. 9235. My Shining Successors, Win through Learning, from the May 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 17th April, 2015
[1] José Enrique Rodó, Ariel, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden (Austin, Texas: University of Texas Press, 2008), p. 32.
