The Daishonin writes,

"ordinary people

keep in mind the words 

'earnest resolve'

and thereby become Buddhas."

Let's advance,

embracing in our hearts 

the great ambition of kosen-rufu!

Such determination

changes the way we act

and opens up a path 

to victory in life!

"Whenever Shin'ichi said the word unity, there was a strictness in his eyes. It reflected his determination to challenge anything or anyone trying to disrupt the Soka Gakkai's unity.


"Josei Toda said, 'The Soka Gakkai must build its castle from capable people!' Without unity, the castle's walls will crumble."


The New Human Revolution, Vol.28, Great Path 61, translation released June 2023.

"In one of his writings, Nichiren Daishonin likens the power of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the singing of a bird. He explains that when a caged bird sings, birds flying in the sky come to gather around it. Seeing this, the bird in the cage tries to get out to join them (see WND-1, 131). In the same way, when you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can call forth your positive potential. You can also draw forth the positive potential in your friends, family and others around you.

"I am praying that all of you will soar freely into the skies of learning and personal challenge, and share your bright, inspiring smiles with many."

The Daishonin teaches,
"When one gives

boundless strength,

wells up from within our own lives.

Youth and Future Division members,
aiming to develop them into 
even more remarkable talented people 
than ourselves!

"People tend to be so attached to their own thoughts and feelings that they confine themselves to the realm of the lesser self. When they awaken to their great mission for kosen-rufu and unite with fellow members to achieve it, they break the shell of the lesser self and reveal their greater self. In doing so, their individuality shines. Uniting and working together for kosen-rufu provides the impetus to cast off the lesser self and develop a boundless life state."

"Cherry blossoms undergo a phenomenon known as "breaking dormancy." This is when their buds, which first form in summer and then go to "sleep" in autumn, are awakened by the cold of winter to prepare for their blossoming in spring. People, too, must brave the challenges of winter to bring their full strength and potential to bloom.


"The Daishonin compares the supreme life state of Buddhahood to cherry blossoms (See WND-1, 1137). There are flowers waiting to bloom inside your hearts as well. Even when things don't go as you'd hoped, if you continue to nourish yourself with the sunlight of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, your worries will produce flowers of wisdom, your hardships flowers of strength and your sorrows flowers of kindness. Your inner brilliance will illuminate not only your own life, but your family, friends and society at large."

"...unity is the essence of faith and the main principle for advancing kosen-rufu. If leaders can't get along and unite with one another, they must recognise that devilish functions already control them. This is because such discord destroys the harmonious unity of practitioners and sows confusion in the Soka Gakkai.

"We need courage to unite. Without courage, you may avoid openly sharing your thoughts or communicating directly with those you find difficult. And that will result in further misunderstandings.

"If you have a problematic relationship with someone, have the courage to reach out and talk with them, regardless of age or organisational position."
