-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The momentum for our expansion and development
originates from our uplifting discussion meetings!
Let's bring our personal experiences
Let's bring our personal experiences
of using this practice to life as we tell,
with conviction, confidence and vibrance,
how and what we have been through and learnt!
Let's make these gatherings a place where people
overflow with joy and a deepening sense of resolve!

"Mr. Toda often said: 'Why did I become the president of the Soka Gakkai? It is because I lost my wife. I lost my beloved daughter. And because I have experienced all kinds of bitter hardships. That is the reason I became president.' Because he had undergone great hardships, he was qualified to be president—this was Mr. Toda's philosophy.
