Ah, the great Chubu area,*
the historical land that has given birth
to countless heroes and heroines!
Now is the time to be proactive

in establishing the righteousness of our cause.
Let's raise the flag of monumental victory

atop the golden castle of our stronghold.

"The Daishonin says: 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212). The practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves and teaching others to do the same brings compassion, courage, and joy to surge forth within us. Soka Gakkai members experience this through their daily activities for kosen-rufu.

"We could say that our social mission as Buddhists is to contribute broadly to society by establishing a new culture of humanism that gives expression to such joy. The creation of outstanding art and culture will attest to the greatness of this Buddhist philosophy. The appreciation and positive response that such art and culture stir in people's hearts will help ever greater numbers of individuals form a connection with Buddhism."
