Let's try to participate in the

with our children and grandchildren.
The inspiration for our spirits

and the good influence on our personality
that we experience in the midst

of our SGI family activities is indeed

the best nutrition for our growth!

"The Lotus Sutra says of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth 'Their minds know no fear' (LSOC 15, 263).
