-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Instead of taking a passive attitude,
let's challenge to have a more positive
proactive way of thinking!
"All right! I'll show that I can do it."
Resolutely determined
Resolutely determined
to always be the initiator,
no matter what,
let's progressively advance
let's progressively advance
the cause for kosen-rufu!

SGI President Ikeda's Encouragement

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948), the father of Indian independence, was jailed on numerous occasions during the nonviolent, civil disobedience movement he led to liberate the Indian people from colonial oppression. He was imprisoned for his role in the famous Salt March in 1930—the same year, incidentally, that the Soka Gakkai was founded.
"While in jail, Gandhi wrote to one of his followers about the importance of a vow: 'A vow means unflinching determination. . . . To do at any cost something that one ought to do constitutes a vow. It becomes a bulwark of strength.'*"
