Nichiren Daishonin reminds us,
"Belief is the seed of wisdom."*
Challenging ourselves

With everyone's wisdom, ingenuity

""Mr. Toda expressed his firm resolve: 'No matter what enormous hardships might arise, I will never forsake the great vow for Kosen-rufu.'
"That is the spirit of Soka mentors and disciples. With that noble resolve, Mr. Toda fought tirelessly and lay the foundations for the magnificent future development of kosen-rufu.
"Establishing the correct teaching for the peace of land is the effort to make the sun of hope rise in the lives of those filled with sorrow and despair. When we cause the sun to rise in our hearts, we can help others do the same. Whatever the times or the place, prayer and action based on the vow for kosen-rufu create an endless chain reaction of joy and hope."
