Towards May 3rd, our Soka Gakkai Day,
let's do all we can to spread hope and courage!

let's take one step and then another,
scaling the mountain of challenges

scaling the mountain of challenges
that lies in front of us!

"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."
(The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, Emerging from the Earth - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 214)

"I would like to express my heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by the series of earthquakes and aftershocks in Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu. I am chanting for everyone's safety and that they will be protected by the heavenly deities.
"I hope that you, the members of our exceptionally strong and warmhearted Kyushu Soka family, will demonstrate invincible unity and, in accord with the Daishonin's assurance that 'Misfortune will change into fortune' (WND-1, 412), change poison into medicine. We will also do everything we can to support you.
"The eminent Indian thinker Dr. Lokesh Chandra expressed his high hopes for our movement, saying: 'The Soka Gakkai is the song wafting in from the dreams of centuries.'"
