-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In all of our efforts 

for kosen-rufu,
it's important that we have 

a clear sense of purpose 

about what we are striving towards.

It's precisely through 

challenging ourselves for our own 

human revolution
that we experience the greatest of joy.

"Mr. Makiguchi declared: 'The purpose of life is to create supreme value and to attain the greatest possible happiness.'

"'Soka' means value creation; it is the path by which all people can attain happiness – absolute happiness that cannot be destroyed by anything. Mr. Toda described this as a state 'in which one can feel fulfilled wherever one is, and life itself is a joy.'"*
