and find expression through the voice."*

and having the strong will 
to contribute to society,
may we have voices 
that carry out 
the work of the Buddha resound!**

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Soka, or value-creating, education is a system for developing people who can create value. It aims to elevate and enrich each person's character towards that end. And because happiness lies in value creation, Soka education is committed to nurturing people who work for the happiness of others as well as their own. The focus is always on human beings."
